Try doing this: Fire up YaST. Go to "security and users"->"Edit and create users" Here select your <username> from the list of users (probably you have only one user other than root). There'll be a list of group names of which that user is a member. Since you are getting the above mentioned error, dialout won't be in that list. Click on "edit" button; then click on "Details". There in the list of existing groups, 'check' on the group "dialout". Click "Next" twice and then click "Finish". This should fix your problem. I'm not sure if this is the reason for the error message you get, but I did: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ll /usr/sbin/pppd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 213064 2003-09-23 23:18 /usr/sbin/pppd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> As you can see, pppd has it's group set to dialout. Kppp is only a frontend for pppd. I guess that's the reason for the error message you are getting. I'm not sure, just guessing...please rectify me if I'm wrong, even I'm learning :-D > Btw.

I have LG Studioworks 700E monitor, which is working fine for me. I mean no error messages! Otherwise this monitor has turned out to be a bad experience...I get "shadow images" at the recommended frequency!! Under both Lin and Win! I'm running behind LG guys, but our city's LG cust. support people seem to be "kamchor"!! ;-) Returning back to your problem, try to configure your monitor using SaX2. KDE menu->System->configuration->SaX2. My monitor hasn't been recognized, I use VESA [EMAIL PROTECTED] And yet I get shadow images, to the minimal though... You can think what I must be getting at recommended 85Hz!! Brrrrrrrrrr... I hate it...
