You're supposed to be able to just stop moving the mouse,
wait a second, and it will correct itself. Occasionally the
PS2 protocol skips a byte and the mouse driver gets confused.
This used to happen to me on a laptop with a trackpad,
especially if the trackpad got zapped with a static electricity
shock when I went to touch it.
The source is in /sys/src/9/pc/mouse.c if you want to tweak the
logic that tries to get out of this state.
Or you could plug your mouse into a USB port.
