when you write “SUSE linux” we don’t know it that mean openSUSE 10.3 or
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (or openSUSE 11.0, 11.1, 11.3, 11.4,
12.1, 12.2 etc)… nor do we know which desktop (if any) you are
running: KDE3, KDE4, Gnome, LXDE, IceW, XFCE, etc etc etc
and believe it or not the correct answer for your question my be very
different for your machine than mine…

are you getting any error message from fldigi? like maybe: “Access
denied” or something similar?
if so, maybe (depending on which version you have, which desktop you
have, etc) if you open YaST > Security and Users > User and Group

dd
Further to dd’s advice, determine the USB device ownership
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
For example, mine
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 May 29 19:29 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 May 29 19:28 /dev/ttyUSB1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 2 May 29 20:47 /dev/ttyUSB2
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 3 May 29 20:47 /dev/ttyUSB3
I’m a member of the dialout group for the required access.
