[ gpsdrive ] First base, some day?

[gpsdosm at trixtar.org]

Hi,


Following up on my earlier today...

Toshita A70
Garmin GPS18-USB-17216431
Suse-Linux-10.3
gpsd-2.37-17
gpsd-clients-2.37-17
gpsd-devel-2.37-17
gpsdrive-2.10pre4-1.59
gpsman-6.3.2-1
.. everything looks good

So I do

# gpsd
   gpsd: can't run with neither control socket nor devices

# gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0

#

# stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB0

[blink.. blink.. blink..]

Cntrl-C, start gpsdrive, Pos-Mode and GPS Status = No GPS

GPS-Time = n/a

Lat & Long are whatever I click the blue square box to 
instead of a gps position. I put the whole circus out on the 
porch and after 5 minutes still nothing.


Does all this look like a dead receiver?


Please help me save the little hair I still have >(:-)
