Apcupsd problem with APC Back-ups 500

[daripo interfree it ()]

Hi,
did someone tried apcupsd ?
I've got a APC Back-ups 500 with usb cable 940-0127B linked to a pc with
RedHat 8.0A installed
 
I've tested everything it was written on the documentation, man pages and
 mailing list,  but I couldn't figure out the problem
The system finds the ups:
 #cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
 
 S:  Manufacturer=American Power Conversion
 S:  Product=Back-UPS 500 FW: 6.4.I USB FW: c1
 S:  SerialNumber=BB0307324835
 C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 30mA
 I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hid
 E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms
 T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12  MxCh= 3
 B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
 D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
 P:  Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 0.00
 
 in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf I set:
 UPSCABLE usb
 UPSTYPE usb
 DEVICE /dev/usb/hiddev[0-15]
 
And then the default values
When I start the daemon: apcupsd start, I've got the following error
 
 Driver usb not found.
 The available drivers are:
 dumb
 apcsmart
 
 apcupsd FATAL ERROR in apcupsd.c at line 312
 Apcupsd cannot continue without a valid driver.
 
I tried to change the ups type and the device in the apcupsd.conf,
but the problem still remain.
I've tested with the rpm and then with the last tgz compiling everything
with the usb directives, but nothing to do.
Someone had the same problem?

Thanks 
 Dario
