Hello,

I'm sorry, I didn't think to a little detail :

Yes, -x generic don't exist in newhidups in version 2.0.3 (not in
version 2.0.4 neither). You need to get the trunk version.

I you don't have svn installed, install it then run :
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/nut/trunk

go to the trunk directory
then use (I suppose you are on debian, right ? if not (gentoo I
presume), replace in the next command to have the good flags for
gentoo)
./configure            --prefix=/ \
            --sysconfdir=/etc/nut \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man \
            --libdir=/usr/lib \
            --includedir=/usr/include \
            --without-ssl \
            --with-cgi \
            --with-statepath=/var/run/nut \
            --with-altpidpath=/var/run/nut \
            --with-drvpath=/lib/nut \
            --with-cgipath=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nut \
            --with-pidpath=/var/run/nut \
            --datadir=/usr/share/nut \
            --with-user=nut
and then
make usb

then run drivers/newhidups -DD -u root -x generic -x vendorid=09df auto

I'm sorry I forgot this detail (I work on the trunk version...)
