might ask a stupid question but isn't hal used to manage the UPS device<BR>and
connection through udev rules?<BR>I though that hal was mostly usefull with
usb...<BR><BR>In the nut-hal document, it is said that HAL "allows NUT drivers
to feed the<BR>HAL system, which will itself feeds<BR>applications such as the
Gnome Power Manager"<BR>Does that mean hal is not used for managing the
battery itself but sees the<BR>nut driver as a "pseudo real battery"? In
this case, indeed, I do not need<BR>it.<BR>I use upsmon for power
management.<BR>
<DIV class=im></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>not at all. there are 2 approaches:<BR>- the standard one, where you
have a driver (usbhid-ups), upsd and upsmon.<BR>udev only applies the device
privileges rules.<BR>- the Integrated Power Management approach, where NUT USB
driver can feed data to HAL (instead of upsd), replacing the basic USB/HID
support in HAL.<BR>Note that HAL is being superseded by DeviceKit and
DeviceKit-power.<BR>This approach will probably be abandonned...<BR><BR></DIV>
