I've seen something like that with certain mice on all sorts of
different hardware ( I'm sure I've seen it on macppc and sparc64,
probably on arm and evbmips as well ), the mouse would detach and then
immediately re-attach, seemingly at random, even with X running. Didn't
have a noticeable impact on using it though.

have fun
