It's still a problem in 8.04 my solution is the folowing:
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf make sure you have the folowing section:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Configured Mouse"
 Driver "mouse"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
 Option "Protocol" "auto"
EndSection

if /dev/ttyS0 does not work try ttyS1

You know for a operating system as serious as ubuntu a 4 year bug like this doesn't realy look good
