[gentoo-user] sys-power/nut

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

I've got a Tripplite OMNI1000LCD ups for my workstation.

I'm trying to get sys-power/nut to talk to it.


However lsusb nor usbview show the device. 

I looked in /lib/nut and tried several of the choices
for the /etc/nut/ups.conf entry such as these:

 James added this
   [OMNI1000LCD]
   #driver = tripplite_usb
   #driver = newhidups
   driver = usbhid-ups
   port = auto
   desc = "Tripp Lite OMNI1000LCD USB"


none of the 3 listed drivers work but thats (I think) because
the usbdevice never shows up with lsusb.....

I've rebuilt the kernel  (including these suggestions:) to no avail:

http://linuxlore.blogspot.com/2006/12/howto-set-up-nut-on-gentoo-linux-for.html

and tried to use this wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NUT

All sorts of other usb devices show up just fine. 

I've tried both of these versions: 2.0.5-r2 and 2.2.0.


Any ideas?


James
