[Nut-upsuser] nut with hal on Fedora 8

[Amadeus W. M.]

I bought a new CyberPower CP850AVRLCD ups, connected it to a usb port
and I'm trying to use it with hal. I installed

[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q nut nut-client
nut-2.2.0-6.1.fc8
nut-client-2.2.0-6.1.fc8

lsusb sees it:

[root at phoenix docs]# lsusb

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0c45:1050 Microdia

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. CP1500 AVR UPS
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

After reading the nut-hal.txt file I checked to see if I have the fdi
file. I do have it and I did find the 0764:0501 ID in there:

      <!-- CyberPower -->
      <match key="usb_device.vendor_id" int="0x0764">
        <match key="usb_device.product_id" int="0x0005">
          <append key="info.category" type="string">battery</append>
          <merge key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">battery</merge>
          <merge key="info.addons"
type="strlist">hald-addon-usbhid-ups</merge>
          <merge key="battery.type" type="string">ups</merge>
        </match>
        <match key="usb_device.product_id" int="0x0501">
          <append key="info.category" type="string">battery</append>
          <merge key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">battery</merge>
          <merge key="info.addons"
type="strlist">hald-addon-usbhid-ups</merge>
          <merge key="battery.type" type="string">ups</merge>
        </match>
      </match>


I also noticed I have a udev rules file:

[root at phoenix docs]# grep -A 2 -i
cyberpower /etc/udev/rules.d/52_nut-usbups.rules 
# CyberPower - usbhid-ups
ATTR{idVendor}=="0764", ATTR{idProduct}=="0005", MODE="664",GROUP="uucp"
ATTR{idVendor}=="0764", ATTR{idProduct}=="0501", MODE="664",GROUP="uucp"


I stopped and restarted the hal daemon, then plugged in the usb cable,
but nothing happened. As per nat-hal.txt, the gnome power manager should
have popped up. Nothing happened. I exited the X-server and logged
started it again (gnome), unplugged the cord then plugged it back in,
again nothing happened. So:

1) How do I actually check that my setup is working?
2) Can I use some other client to show info about the ups? 
3) ps shows gnome-power-manager running. Why is it not doing anything?
4) For my curiosity, which of the fdi and the udev rules files is being
used, and how can I tell? Which one should be used? Can there be any
conflicts? My knowledge about udev and hal is too vague.

Thanks!
