But it should be easy to add a small general purpose CPU (ARM or Intel Atom) and a couple of usb ports to the card and move X completely to the video card. Just like a remote X server only in the same box. I really think the OP was referring to having user mode code take advantage of the high processing power of modern GPUs. It works now, but could be improved if the OS contained specialized scheduling support for these kinds of jobs.
