About time a X server uses the input interface.

I disagree. There still is resource contention to deal with. Also you 
might want to use X windows along side another application on another 
terminal. The biggest thing is that in the future X windows will no longer 
access any hardware. All hardware access will be moved to embedded OpenGL.
The next generation of X server is XGL if you want to take a look at it.
