I've had the same problem on a VAX-3500 with a QDSS display system.  Once the
mouse is disconnected from the display, only a reboot will bring it back to
life.  I suspect the integrity of the mouse connection to the cable connector
block or the DB-15 connection at the DS-3100 bulkhead.  Have you changed mice
and then rebooted?  The rule is that you have to reboot after any change.
