Thanks, is that with the APC entries in usb_quirks.c removed? You can check in dmesg that the UPS attaches to uhid(4) rather than ugen(4). > Also, apcupsd.org documentation indicates that using apcupsd will > result in loss of USB keyboards and mice on OpenBSD.

Before the quirk was added (in 2007), it would have been necessary to disable the uhid(4) driver in kernel config to allow the UPS to attach to ugen(4) instead. But now in -current/5.2 it's possible to carry out certain operations from userland even though a device is attached to a driver other than ugen(4).
