hptalx 1.3.0 only connects when run as root

The summary says it all. I'm using SuSE 9.3 with kernel
2.6.11.4 and KDE 3.4.2 (just in case you need those
things). If this is not a bug, then which user
permissions should I arrange for my regular user?
This is not a bug of hptalx. Depending on your OS you'll have to assign proper permissions to e.g. /dev/ttyUSB*. For most modern Linuxes, see "udev rules" and possibly "console.perms" for this.
