This method only works to start GUI programs. If you want to run a 
command, you'll see nothing.
You need to do this at a console. In other words, you need a command 
shell (this is 'konsole' under KDE).

Then become root by typing 'su' and enter the root password.

Then type 'dmesg'  and give us the output.

The easiest way may be to do

dmesg > dmesg.txt

(which redirects the output to a file called dmesg.txt)
