You're asking about integrating the X server code into the kernel? That
would cause many problems. For instance, any memory that the kernel allocates
can not be swapped out. Since X tends to use a lot of memory, this would
mean that you could easily use a large unswappable chunk of memory.
Also, there is a security issue here - you could easily launch a denial-of-
service attack against that by causing the X server to allocate more and more
memory until the machine has no more memory available to allocate.
It's also against the traditional unix philosophy as well.
Why do you want to do such a strange thing?
