The biggest reasons will be :
  o More stable X without needing suid root.
  o One X server for all platforms. Not the current XF86 mess.
  o Better acceleration than current XF86 (possible?)
  o Real multihead, out of the box.
  o Easy for vendors to make binary-only linux video drivers.
    (Yes, sucks. But sucks less than no drivers at all)
