Trying to use my Mac Mini as a sort of drawing machine, I have my Cintiq Pro 24 Pen display and plan on working on that while my keyboard and other peripherals are connect to another machine/monitors. It's a bit annoying having to connect them to my Mini when I need to log in. After log in, pen and everything works fine. I'm just wondering if there exists a way for it to work on boot, is it a perm issue?
