Are those optical mice, or older roller-ball mice?

Try <ctrl><alt><F1>.  Don't login or anything, but move your mouse
around.  Does it exhibit the same problem?  If not, it's probably
related to Xorg.  Try changing the protocol settings in your xorg.conf
(make a backup first!).   <ctrl><alt><F7> should return you to the
graphical login.
