GPSD users, developers, et alia:
I have a General Dynamics GD8200 laptop that is inclusive of an
internal GPS receiver. I was able to get GPSD running and cgps does
show the satellites it sees, etc... However, I am a bit lost as to how
to ascertain if I have pps capability and how to configure the
software such that I can access it for setting the time on my laptop.
However, if indeed the GPS internal to my laptop does not have PPS
capability, I am wondering if and how I can use the time within the
GPS strings to set the clock in the laptop as well. I realize it is
less accurate, but I am not doing anything transactional with the
laptop so if it is 10 to 20 seconds behind every day I really not that
concerned about it.
I am not sure if I am still a member of the list (I do not get daily
or weekly emails) but I may have just disabled receiving them in the
past.
Thanks in advance to everyone on the list for any guidance that may help me.
