Sound like your device has its own communication circuitry - you probably
get keyboard, mouse and tablet the ordinary way to the computer. So you'd
set up X or gpm to read tablet data from the serial port, and the others
as usual... no way to access the IR port. lirc is mainly for remote
controls, self-built or included with TV cards, while linux-irda is for
irda ports like you'd find on a laptop or adapters like the irmate. Since
you have all the connectors, all of that stuff is in hardware - your
device might not even speak irda or cir.
