Try running linuxconf and adding yourself under the dialout group if you aren't
there already. You can see if your in the group by looking in /etc/group if
your not in it then that might be it. You can also add yourself to the group
in a shell by running the command "adduser your_name dialout". It's been a
while and since I had to do this. I had the same problem before. I hope this
helps your problem.
Now to your realplayer probem, If you start realplayer from a shell it might
give you some messages which can give you a clue to why it's not working.
