Are there any messages in dmesg? Have you put this in bugzilla if so
what bz#?  If not please file a bug against the kernel and CC me in.

Rather than restarting can you try manipulating the psmouse via drvctl
on the stock kernel.

serioN may vary but you can do:

echo -n "psmouse" > /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio0/drvctl

Does that improve matters?
