Jiri Kosina and Benjamin Tissoires are the maintainers of Linux's HID (Human Interface Device) subsystem, which interacts closely with the Input subsystem. Your UPS uses the HID communication protocol, so they are the people best suited to fix its problems. > Also, in pointing me to the linux-input subsystem, are you recommending > me to write a driver or something else? I am recommending that the people who work on the Input subsystem should take a look at your bug report. Alan Stern
