  It happens to me each time I reboot my DS3100. I first noticed the
problem after disconnecting the 
mouse while the system was running. Calls to DEC service resulted in a
couple of board and mouse swaps,
all to no avail. I finally discovered that remaking /dev/mouse, then
repeatedly killing the
server (Xmfb in my case) brought the mouse back to life.
