The intention isn't to limit ourselves to using X.  The plan would be to 
define the "Xen video protocol" then write a driver to make X talk it.  
Anyone else could port their system to talk to it too.

I'd be inclined to implement the Xen video device in the guest kernel, then 
get X to use that (as it can for existing framebuffer drivers).

Cheers,
Mark
