Anyone with a networked computer or X terminal can (i.e. I can). I will tell you right away if the X clients work right or not. > But I will investigate.

Anyway, serial mice are no problem; the X server's existing code can use them via /dev/tty00 et al just like on Linux. The thing that we need new drivers for is ps2 mouse. > > Some hackers in Japan previously got real X servers working too. > > Yes. X 3.3.3.1 should work.
