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
