The problem is that once the *BSD uhid driver claims a USB HID device, it is no longer available to libusb (which I believe uses ugen). Linux has an ioctl() to ask the kernel to relinquish control of a USB device; however, we haven't heard back from any *BSD users about ways to get around this. One hack would be to use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and disable the ugen driver completely, or to "blacklist" your UPS in the uhid module. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
