This is interesting. Right now it looks like the mouse and keyboard lines
are commented out in /etc/ttys, but maybe something bad like that is going
on. Right now all the gettys are switched off anyway, so it shouldn't
make any difference, should it?? Anyway, maybe I will try commenting out
those other lines in case the serial devices are somehow interfering with
the keyboard and mouse. I am definitely seeing the jumping cursor problem
when you press a button!! Ugh,
