ACK. Splitting off the whole thing into several small deamons IMHO
is a good idea.

My proposal (posted a while ago) is to define a 9P-based (and so OS 
and network transparent) interface for all mouse-alike devices 
(including joysticks, radar scanners, etc). Each driver will be an 
tiny fileserver exporting that interface. Things like multiplexing
or translations will be done in separate servers.
