testing strategy

I need to ask two questions, one's about testing, and the other is about parsing
the config file.  I'll ask the testing question first, 'cause it's clearly the
more important one.

I got a suggestion a while back, that I could use dbus along with a dbus-enabled
xserver to be able to load & unload Xinput drivers.  I recently finished
rebuilding all of the Xorg stuff, so I would have my own server that my Xinput
module is built for.  Since then, I've become aware (at least, I've become
suspicious about) the possibility of running an xserver *in*a*window* on the
same machine, so I could run my own working xserver (where I run my terminals &
my editor sessions) and another different xserver, whose output goes to a
window, doesn't bother my pre-existing xserver, and lets me bring it up & take
it down independently for quick'n'easy Xinput driver testing (so I could also
get the Xorg.0.log on the little xserver).  Trouble on doing this is, I dunno
how, dunno what tools to use, nothing to even begin to investigate.  I don't
mind reading the docs (if there are any) but I need some suggestions on what the
tools are that I need, and if, in fact, what I want is at all possible.

OK, second question, ... you know, if I can get the testing stuff answered well
enough that it really eases my testing, I could get my own answer and not have
to bother you folks at all.  I think I will do that, just concentrate on getting
me the ability to bring up a Xihnput module without my having to bring up and
down my Xserver which I have all my Vim sessions on.  I could do that, but I
sure as hell don't want to.
