Are you using a wireless card by chance? I've had something similar happen
when I was in an area with a very weak signal. Anytime the signal would
drop and the card would attempt to reacquire the mouse or keyboard would
'pop'. When I inquired about it on the mailing list someone mentioned
something about it being related to timeout(9). Not sure if that is still
the case or not.
