    I am not sure if SUSE 11 uses udev file system but if it does, then you should change the permissions by modifying /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions file (usbblaster:root:root:0666).

    I have a customer using Suse 10.1, not 11.0. There is a udev directory in a different location: /etc/udev/rules.d

    They changed the permissions on the 50-udev-default.rules and 32-altera-rules files contained in this directory, but it did not resolve the problem.

    Any recommendations or ideas?

    I've been using Quartus on Suse 11.0 for a while. I installed Suse 11.1 today on a new computer and Quartus gives some error that it can't use the Xserver because the protocol isn't defined. Did I forget to do something basic?

    gtnash, i had the same problem after installing on Suse 11.1. try calling: xhost +

    this will allow all clients (including Quartus) to connect to your X server
