>rw-- usb:vendor=0x04b8,product=0x0128 Which must be a pointer to the answer as resmgr reports to me: # /sbin/resmgr list status code 200 server message follows: no devices available whereas lsusb reports: # /usr/sbin/lsusb Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0592:0002 Powerware Corp. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 The article he suggests ( http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Scanner_Setup_from_SUSE_Linux_10.0 ) Indicates the need to add the device using resmgr, but here my complete ignorance of modern resource management shows: # /sbin/resmgr add usb:vendor=0x0592,product=0x0002 ups status code 500 server message follows: no such class: ups OK then how about: # /sbin/resmgr add usb:vendor=0592,product=0x0002 usb success Not really a success however: # /sbin/resmgr list status code 200 server message follows: no devices available So I am uncertain of where to turn next. Its also interesting to note that scanners have the add performed by Yast which automagically puts the add line into /etc/resmgr.conf.d/50-scanner.conf but there appears to be no ups config utility for doing the same thing in yast or anywhere else and presumably one day in the future there should be ? Or have I just not found it ? A pointer to an article explaining the arcane ins and outs of usb would also be appreciated as I reckon its probably now mandatory bedtime reading.
