Wondering if anyone could give me a little assistance here. I'm trying
to setup monitoring of the UPS so the system can shutdown nicely. I have
an Energizer ER-HM450 UPS. When I plug it in the system finds it as:
kernel: input: USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [Ver 1.0 USB To RS232 Interface
(V1.0) BaudRate 2400bps] on usb-0000:00:03.1-1
Looking at the FAQ makes me think I should have a
section in the conf file that looks like:
driver = hidups
port = /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0
problem is that /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0 does not exist.
Anyone happen to have a configuration using an Energizer UPS they be
willing to share?
I'm running FC3 on kernel:
2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at #1 Fri Mar 4 11:34:31 EST 2005 i686 athlon i386
GNU/Linux
Any other suggestion on ways to do this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
James
Hi, As stated by Viktor himself (the driver's author), energizer units are ugly hack, not compliant with the hid standard, so not supported by either the old hidups nor the new newhidups... use the energizerups driver (linux only). @Viktor: still not registered on the new lists: https://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=30602 Arnaud
