Ah, I had assumed it would just dump some more informative info to the 
console.

I'm pretty sure this is a openSUSE thing, since the distro is very 
"nailed down".  I have had to resort to custom udev rules to get various 
items of usb and firewire hardware to permit access by a non-root user.

I did provide hardware info in my first post, but I'm using the imonlcd 
device - a usb device.

Thanks for your interest.
