Sorry, I have just noticed the "handle the X requests" sentence on Haoqiang's suggestion. Anyway, wouldn't such solution (kernel based) avoid the computation of things not related to X requests? That is, since the X scheduler only treats X requests, if the X server is going to be scheduled instead of the process (P) then non-X requests will not be processed, and process (P) will "hang", right? Or am I wrong? Does anybody wants to share their thoughts about this?
