Can you get a list of the input drivers already on your SGI?

I've heard several times from several places to make wacoms work without
paying large amounts of cash.  One that I found quickly was:

anything to suggest that there was any sort of USB support yet.

BTW, they also have a programmers guide on their FTP site.
