Several companies use to make graphical terminals with full
keyboard/mouse support built in. Couldn't you hook one of these up to
the serial bus and have the X server communicate to it through there?
These terminals aren't cheep. It does sort of defeat the purpose you are
working towards but it has an advantage of showing that it can work.
Once that is shown the OS community can take over from there.
