Colin,

I pulled the apcupsd and gapcmon sources for Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid,
and combed over them.  As you say, no references.  So I went back and
re-tested without usbfs on both Hardy and Intrepid (I no longer have
Gutsy handy for testing).

To my chagrin (but not dismay :-)), it works.  So you're right: I got
caught by a documentation error, and did not try running it without
first trying to meet the documented requirements, although even there
the documentation is ambiguous enough that one can interpret it in
multiple ways.  In this case, RTFM might be construed to have a slight
twist on the usual meaning.

I've marked the apcupsd entries as invalid, and will open a separate bug
for the documentation.

By the way, I see that vmware-server is mentioned here.  Has anyone
tried VMware Server 2 (I am downloading it now, so I can take a look),
or is this just about version 1?  VMware Workstation 6.5.x has had no
problem with USB devices on any of these versions of Ubuntu.
