I may have the same problem.  But I can rule-out the nvidia driver!  I
just bought a new hardware setup, which switched the video hardware
from nvidia to ati and I still have the problem.  I run X.Org X Server
1.5.2 on Ubuntu 8.10 x86-64 with two monitors on one card.  The
symptom is similar, that is I can move the mouse pointer but the shape
does no change corresponding to the 'underground' and clicks don't get
through to the applications.  I still can handle all with the
keyboard, i.e. the focus.
