Only root can access /dev/ttyUSB1

I have a device that use /dev/ttyUSB1, but currently only root has access to it. I use openSUSE 11.2. What I’m trying to connect is a PalmTX which used to work perfectly on 11.1

here is some info.

ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-r-- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2010-04-07 12:11 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw-r-- 1 root dialout 188, 1 2010-04-07 12:11 /dev/ttyUSB1

Any clues on how can I make a regular user able to read and write on /dev/tyUSB1?:\
