Ok, I can try this as well.

This appears to occur only AFTER the mouse locks up, I do ctrl-alt-f1
and then X freezes up after that.

The BIOS is outdated, I will create a Windows Boot CD and flash the BIOS
to the latest version.  The hardware in question is an Optiplex 740.  It is
running an older firmware version..  The latest firmware is from late 2009 
(2.2.4): O740-224.EXE, but you cannot flash it in Linux so will test this
tomorrow, flash the latest bios, apply your latest patch, see if it recurs.
I did check the DIFF's for the Dell BIOS updates, none mention a USB problem
like the one in the kernel bug post (earlier Dell system).

Justin.
