these are the only hal processes running
terrarium:/usr/lib/hal# ps axjf

/usr/sbin/hald

/usr/lib/hal# usbmodules --device /proc/bus/usb/002/006    usbhid

from dmesg:
hiddev96: USB HID v1.11 Device [Belkin UPS] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-5.3

from messages:
Feb 23 14:17:25 terrarium kernel: usb 2-5.3: USB disconnect, address 3

UPS] on usb-0000:00:0b.0-5.3


Is there anywhere else I should be looking?

thanks
