This design still requires a global server app since the heads share a single device. I am always concerned that the root priv code in the X server is a potential security hole. I would like to move away from a model where there is a global controlling app. I don't think we need a global controlling app at all.
If you have multiple "controlling" apps competing for a single device, that either implies complexity in each app for sharing control, or moving even more code into the kernel for 2D and 3D.
I don't think the kernel community is yet interested in moving everything of consequence into the kernel.
