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 on the nut site 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? 
Is apcupsd better and/or easier to get setup?

Any help is appreciated. 

Thanks,
James
