usbmgr.conf(5)
NAME
usbmgr.conf - Config file for usbmgr
DESCRIPTION
- usbmgr.conf is the main configuration file for usbmgr dae
- mon, it has the proper entries to support a wide list of USB de
- vices and the required usb kernel module to make them work.
- Standard usbmgr distribution already has a list of well
- known devices and their proper entries, so you don't need to edit
- it to have it working.
- In case you want or need to add a new device, you can do
- it with the help of dump_usbdev, it aids you in writing
- usbmgr.conf. After usbmgr has been started, running dump_usbdev
- will dump infomation about all attached devices in a format suit
- able for usbmgr.conf.
- If you connect USB devices to your USB HUB, you'll see a
- line like the following.
- ------------------------------------------------------------class 0x9 subclass 0x0 protocol 0x0 module <module_name>
------------------------------------------------------------ - "class 0x9" means USB HUB. If no USB devices are connect
- ed, only the root HUB will appear. Modifying "<module_name>"
- would make the configuration for this device(HUB) complete. In
- the case of a HUB, you should change "module_name" to "none" be
- cause the HUB driver is included in usbcore.
- After a USB mouse has been connected to the HUB, running
- dump_usbdev will give you the following.
- ------------------------------------------------------------class 0x9 subclass 0x0 protocol 0x0 module <module_name>
vendor 0x56e product 0x4 module <module_name>
------------------------------------------------------------ - The 2nd line is new. This is the infomation about the USB
- mouse. The USB mouse requires the "hid" and "mousedev" drivers.
- So, "<module_name>" should be changed to "hid , mousedev". So the
- complete usbmgr.conf entry would look like this:
- ------------------------------------------------------------class 0x9 subclass 0x0 protocol 0x0 module none
vendor 0x56e product 0x4 module hid , mousedev
------------------------------------------------------------ - You should copy this into /etc/usbmgr/usbmgr.conf, and
- then run update_usbdb to create the configuration data.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None.
