Comment 3 for bug 747585

I've located the problem in my case. Apparently my mouse buttons wared-off (8 years old Logitech), which leaded to sporadic short circuits. However, Mac OS X and Vista seem to handle issue much better. Now I'm using a new mouse and so far - no problems.

I found a thread with similar issue on one of the forums. It turns out this problem is above Linux distributions because it's related to X.org. Here is Google Translate of the thread:

You can try to edit your xorg.conf file.
