X11/Xorg already have an async SerialIO subsystem for mouses especially.
But don't have a native USB subsystem.

If we are implement a subsystem to xorg, USB touchpads, keyboards,
poniting devices etc. can be more useable. I have this idea..

If you support for this idea, I can write an API similar to xf86*serial*
API and basic drivers for mouse, keyboard etc.

Yes, this is a complex problem. Kernel can be claim interfaces. But we can
write/patch supported kernel code. Or, we can be only support special
devices, such as touchpad's etc. An other way, this stack can be combine
with an upper layer and provide sync/async information for HID devices..

Your thinks?

Thanks...
