Have you tried rebooting? If that doesn't/didn't work have you tried downing the server, unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in and boot up? Have you tried a different mouse?

tput sgr0
clear

those will sometimes work depending on your terminfo settings.

And is this on the console or on a terminal?

If console just use one of the other screens, and when you can just reboot.
