You do not need to activate anything for IOLog()s to start showing up. My
guess is that your driver is not matching correctly. Posting your plist and
your device's info (from % ioreg -l) to the above list will allow us to more
intelligently guess what's wrong.

I had specified the appropriate vendor id and product id, but had failed to
specify the device id. Correcting this makes the LED turn on :)

That said, I still get no logging info output - is MacOS X configured differently
from a pure Darwin environment? I don't have ioreg either. I tried
IORegistryExplorer but this doesn't show the driver being associated, even though
it is active:

You should have 'ioreg'; it comes with. You may not have "/usr/sbin" in your path.

As for logging output, a couple of things to keep in mind:
- there's no difference between Mac OS X and Darwin
- you should not have to do anything to get logging output
- if you muck with "/etc/syslog.conf", there's a chance the
results won't be what you want. Study 'man syslog.conf'
carefully.

Justin
