I have a ups with a usb connection and am using nut to monitor it. I
haven't tested that it shuts down properly since rawhide switched to
upstart, but it did work previously.
I don't use gnome-power-manager though. I hand edited the config files
and use the 'ups' service to watch it. usbhid-ups is the driver for most
usb ups's in rawhide. Before that it was newhidups.
Thanks, I know all this. Nut is supposed to work with hal, automatically,
for usb ups's, with no manual configuration, and I only wanted to know if
it's really working and how can I test if mine is.
