Step 7Tweak the driver settings
In the Wacom driver settings (you'll definitely want to install the Wacom driver, and not use the built-in OS X support for the tablet).
With the pen selected, choose the mapping tab. For "Screen Area", choose "Portion." You'll need to map out where your sensor ended up. The easiest way I found was to click the "Click to define screen area" button and use the stylus to find the top-left-most and bottom-right-most points the pen could get to. With a little pixel-nudging (editing the coordinate values in the boxes) after that, I got a good matchup. Each time you change a value, it will feel like you're getting an immediate change in the mapping, but it's not actually doing it terribly accurately until you click OK after you've made a change.
You're all set! Be sure to check out Ink Well.
FUTURE: I'd like to snip off the wire close to the hole and solder on a female mini USB port, but for now the laptop looks like a member of the BORG. But it works!
