apcupsd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hiddev missing
Hi,
I want to install the apcupsd program in order to enable my APC 500 CS UPS on my 2.6.6 kernel.
When following the installation instructions, I see that I need the /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hiddev directory for 2.6.6, but it is missing on my system. All the other necessary directories are present (sys/bus/usb/drivers/hid ../hub ../usb and ../usbfs)
lspci -v gives me (only relevant information pasted);
0000:00:09.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 50) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 8080
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
I/O ports at d000 [size=32]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
0000:00:09.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 51) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21
I/O ports at a800 [size=32]

Does anyone know which options I should select in my kernel configuration in order to get this? Or can I get it in another way? Now I am having these kernel options selected:
- USB device filesystem
- EHCI
- UHCI
- USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
- HID input layer support
- /dev/hiddev raw HID device support
Thanks

I am trying to get Alsa working... and while Warren has had problems with i810 - ac97 onboard sound...it seems my problem is during startup , it is looking for pcilib in /sys/bus/pci/devices....it seems i have nothing in the /sys subdirectory....does anyone know what i didn't install to ave this subdirectory empty?? or am i on the wrong trail??
tried googling, searching warrens site, searching LQ....did a man /usr......(pulling at my hair)

If you can't find anything in the /sys directory, then you need to mount sysfs by giving this command:
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
If the command runs successfully, add this to your /etc/fstab:
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
If this doesn't help, let me know your hardware config, and we can check out more details...

Looks like your motherboard is not completely supported. Have you tried upgrading to 2.6.7?
Get the USBView utility to check connected devices:
