[opensuse] accessing usb devices

I am having problems accessing usb devices in suse 10.3. I plug in the usb device, watch the lights flash, but I get an error message on the screen. I cannot find any "help" re: "hot plug" of whatever it might be called now. help? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
