Well, XF86 supports four major types of mice, one of which is serial 
(the others are PS/2, USB, and BusMouse). For serial mice alone, there 
are 9 different protocols supported. You'd have a heck of a time 
implementing all this again ;-)

I'd rather just fire up X with Squeak as the only application. In fact, 
it's easy to create a "Squeak session" for xdm/gdm/kdm that takes you 
from login prompt into Squeak in less than a second - I tried :-)
