I am serving nfs clients so, unfortunately, I can't turn off nfsd without
causing other problems.  I recently changed the mouse driver from MS
Intellimouse to Generic 2-button (emulate 3) due to issues with the KVM
switch.  Other than that I installed Tomcat4 but nothing else has changed.
I'm hoping that if I don't use X on the console (per Jeremy's suggestion)
mouse issue will become irrelevant.
