[arch-general] Running setserial from rc.local

With the new Xorg, I need to run the command:
setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig
At every boot to get the stylus working in a Tablet PC. I have put the line in
/etc/rc.local, as it contains "all the things which are not daemons that you
want to run at boot".
But it is not working. KDM (therefore, X) starts without using the stylus. If
I switch to a terminal, run the command, and the return to X, the stylus is
recognised.
Any clue about what is I am doing wrong? I know that the command can not be
executed from an X terminal (this is why I switch to a "normal" terminal), but
running it from rc.local should work, right?
