It sounds like a bug in XFree86.  Try setting the environment variable:
SDL_VIDEO_X11_DGAMOUSE=0

If that works, try with the latest XFree86 CVS sources (if you dare! :)
You might want to submit a bug report to XFree86 when you get that 
information all put together.  If you're running the NVidia drivers,
contact NVidia on IRC at irc.openprojects.net for help.

See ya!
