It will be the adi interface I think. It's a little bit experimental as
the xdd solution is not the optimum. E.g. the AES need more control over
the mouse as the device interface can provide.

I don't understand. Every exec() variant replace the current process by a
new image (I refer here to the mintlib exec() frontends, not the Pexec()
system call).

It's not better to fix fvdi? I'm sure Johan read here too.
