Q: On linux I can see the /dev/ttyUSB* devices for my Icarus FPGAs, but
cgminer can't mine on them

A: Make sure you have the required priviledges to access the /dev/ttyUSB* devices:

sudo ls -las /dev/ttyUSB*
will give output like:
0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2012-09-11 13:49 /dev/ttyUSB0

This means your account must have the group 'dialout' or root privileges

To permanently give your account the 'dialout' group:
sudo usermod -G dialout -a `whoami`
Then logout and back in again

If you are using an Icarus FPGA, don't forget to configure CGMiner (Step 10 of the tutorial) with: ./configure --enable-icarus

i personally prefer not using the gui. its a system hog

using "screen" command in console allows me to access the bfgminer thats running behind the scenes without stopping anything.

and cacti allows me to see charts via web Cheesy

Can you explain the steps? Would be nice if I can try that.
