I am using only a mouse. I unplugged the mouse, but am getting similar
behavior.

Something of interest, however: the keyboard inputs seem to be working
fine until a few seconds after I "login root", at which point the
emulated VGA screen blinks, and the wonky behavior starts.

Could it be a sensitive touch-pad? (are there configs to adjust
triggering on motion?)(I have to disable mouse/touchpad input to edit
unless I'm super carefulnot to brush it with my sleeve or palm)
