Hi list. In recent OpeBSD versions usb devices attached to upd driver. This is why apcupsd doesn't detect APC USB devices.
After installing apcupsd there is statement how to deal with above situation: ................................................................................................................... The option with fewest side-effects is to add the following entries to the table in /sys/dev/usb/usb_quirks.c and build a new kernel: { USB_VENDOR_APC, USB_PRODUCT_APC_UPS, ANY, { UQ_BAD_HID }}, { USB_VENDOR_APC, USB_PRODUCT_APC_UPS5G, ANY, { UQ_BAD_HID }}, Alternatively, if you do not use a USB keyboard/mouse, you could simply disable the upd and uhid drivers. The following line creates a new kernel with the relevant changes: printf 'disable uhid\ndisable upd\nquit\n' | config -e -o /bsd.no-uhid /bsd ................................................................................................................... Second option isn't suitable because I have usb keyboard and on very rare occasions it's used to fix something locally. So regardless of undefined "fewest side-effects" I have to use first option and build new kernel. I downloaded and extracted src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz into /usr/src. Then I modified usb_quirks.c file and added specified lines into usb_quirks[] table. Then I've read faq5.html and man config but didn't get a clue how to build new kernel with applied changed in usb_quirks.c file. In config man page there is statement that "Most people save their backup kernels as //bsd.1/, //bsd.2/, etc." I'd also like to know how to save my current kernel and how to switch between new and old ones in case of some troubles with new kernel.
