All right, the problematic mouse is attached to bus 2 (as is the
keyboard).  So the next step is to run a kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG
enabled.  When the mouse stops working, go to
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/ohci/0000:00:0b.0 and see what the various files
in that directory contain.  Also, check if any additional debugging 
info shows up in the system log.

You should try it anyway.  If the failure still occurs, then you can 
rule out any connection with X or the nVidia graphics.
