So I have gone back and changed the permissions in

fear this time, to see if adding the /dev/ttyS0 to the
/etc/udev/rules.d20-names file will get Xastir to talking to the
Kenwood through the serial port.
I still need to dl GTKTerm and/or Minicom again.
As a reminder I have nothing serial except for the radio.
So am I forgetting something else that we have tried?
And does anyone know if I really need to name the serial port in
the names file? The port is not named in the same file on my
working Ubuntu computer. And if I do need to write the port into
the 20-names.rules file what do I need to tell it to do and does
this tie in somehow with the symlink rules?
I'm using OpenSuSE-11.0 rather than Ubuntu, using one USB->Serial
adapter on the home box at present, plus a USB TV capture device and
a USB joystick, maybe a USB mouse too. I haven't had to name
anything, but I did have to go mess with the permissions in
/etc/udev/rules.d/ so that I could use my joystick in BZFlag.
Got'a have my BZFlag!
Have you looked through the Ubuntu-specific info in these two spots?
