( http://www.levien.com/free/linux_intuos.html ) and I also see that Wacom describes how to get the serial-port (PC) Intuos to work on an iMac (USB) via a simple USB-to-serial converter. ( http://www.wacom.com/productsupport/usb.html ) So here's the question: I know that right now we only have USB mice and keyboards working on the iMac. Does anyone know how easy or hard it would be to get a standard serial device on the USB interface to map to a port (e.g. /dev/ttyS1 or something) so that I could try to compile the Xinput driver on an iMac? On the surface, this sounds like a simple thing, but I know absolutely nothing about Mac serial devices (/dev/ttySx) or the USB standards. Any thoughts?
