connecting a digitiser to x repost hi there i posted this to comp windows x intrinsics but got no response so i m posting here i m wanting to connect a digitiser made for pcs into my workstation an hp it is my understanding the x windows can understand a variety of input devices including digitiser tablets however this digitiser makes use of the serial port so there would seem to be a need to have a special device driver the hp manual pages say that the hp x server will accept x input from devices listed in the usr lib x x devices file display number i shouldn t think i would be able to simply insert dev rs c as an input device in this file and expect a digitiser to work but maybe i m wrong am i what i would like to know is does anybody out there have a digitiser connected to their workstation for use as a pointer for x rather than just as input to a specific x application if so what were the steps required for installation did you need a special device driver did the manufacturer supply it are there generic public domain device drivers around i understand that digitisers generally use only a couple of standard formats any help would be greatly appreciated cheers vaughan vaughan clarkson email vaughan ewd dsto gov au engineering ph d student phone glider pilot fax
