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.
