I know too little , too .

The only thing i know , that i had Xorg xserver-1.3.0 [re-]compiled to test the many alternative kdrives , which includes the Xvesa and Xvb srerver .

The xwin scripts mentions some more , some i have never had known before , me thinking very old [ pre 2005 or pre Puppy 4 series in this case ] .

Any user can set permissions to whatever value with sudo and su root .

Reading anything does not seem to be a major security risk in comparison to stability of the OperatingSystem .

Reading the keystrokes if some [pinstall.sh to /etc/rc.d/local]
program lauches the evbug.ko driver for example and submiting them via the browser somewhere
may be meant by the author .

The puppy standard kernel :
# grep -i evbug /etc/modules/*
/etc/modules/DOTconfig-2.6.39.4:# CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set

has evbug not enabled , but there may be some Xorg drivers like
/usr[/X11R7]/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
being capable of this .

I am running my own Xvesa-1.3.0 @Racy-099 ATM and am happy with Xvesa, too .
