When I try to start links2 -g from the console I get this error:
$ links2 -g

But it does work as root (yes, I know, it was just a short test).
Here is some more data that might be relevant:
$ id
uid=1000(amp77) gid=1000(amp77)
groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),1000(amp77)
$ ls -l /dev/tty0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 4, 0 2007-05-18 11:37 /dev/tty0
Thanks for reading,
