(Get the code!)
Colin,
I pulled the apcupsd and gapcmon sources for Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid, and combed over them. As you say, no references. So I went back and re-tested without usbfs on both Hardy and Intrepid (I no longer have Gutsy handy for testing).
To my chagrin (but not dismay :-)), it works. So you're right: I got caught by a documentation error, and did not try running it without first trying to meet the documented requirements, although even there the documentation is ambiguous enough that one can interpret it in multiple ways. In this case, RTFM might be construed to have a slight twist on the usual meaning.
I've marked the apcupsd entries as invalid, and will open a separate bug for the documentation.
By the way, I see that vmware-server is mentioned here. Has anyone tried VMware Server 2 (I am downloading it now, so I can take a look), or is this just about version 1? VMware Workstation 6.5.x has had no problem with USB devices on any of these versions of Ubuntu.
