Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Integrate MPX which is a modification to the existing X.Org which provides multiple independent pointers (mouse cursors).

Unix has always been a multi-user operating system ever since it was conceived with time-sharing. Now with MPX, multiple users can use the same computer at the same time.
* Good for collaboration, team work, etc.
* Can hook 8 screens, 8 mouse into same computer, instead of buy 8 computers.
* Good for poor countries, schools, etc.
* Good for ambidextrous person and for some graphics/
This removes the limit of just one cursor. Ubuntu would be the only operating system with support for simultaneous use of multiple mouses/pointer input devices.
Remove all barriers and limits. No arbitrary limits. Sky is the limit. Lead by innovation.
