Strange mouse pointer behaviour in some games

Seems like the last days were a marathon of updates eh?
well.. evertything went fine except for one thing:

When I play games like Unreal Tournament 99, ioQuake3 ('original' quake3 runs fine!), Nexuiz, Teeworlds and even ZDoom my pointer goes to the corner of the screen every time I click!  It's like an unoticed gravitational force is taking my mouse pointer away from buttons, or even preventing me from aiming...

Games running over Wine and games like World of Goo, Hedgewars and Battle for Wesnoth are ok

I have the 2.6.29 kernel, xorg 1.6, nvidia 180.44, oss 4

now i'm trying the lastest nvidia beta drivers (185.16), but no deal...
i've tryed reinstalling kernel, xorg, sdl and even xf86-input*, but just the same behaviour.
xorg hotplug is enabled (but so far i had no problems)

my xorg.conf:

    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Nothing strange on the Xorg.log

so.. i'm just curious if someone else has this problem, or else my mouse is just refusing to play FPS games...
