If it was going to be that easy I'd have done it myself ;-) AFAIK there isn't a simple ubx utility that would allow us to send parameters to the GPS and watch for the returning messages, so adding a few lines to ogpsd is probably the easiest approach. For anyone who knows their way around ogpsd and ubx it should be quick and easy ;-) I'm not that person, so if I get round to it it may take a little longer... > 2009/10/5 Al Johnson : > > On Sunday 04 October 2009, Erik Lundin wrote: > >> Good news, indeed.

Next Munich Openmoko "Stammtisch" in November/December 2009
Hi all, the next Openmoko "Stammtisch" (informal meeting) in Munich, Germany is being planned. As in past meetings you can meet users and geeks, talk about hardware and software, and even find long-time Zaurus owners... Since we did have a visitor from Canada last time, everyone who is interested to come to Munich in November or December is welcome (we try to speak English if necessary). Please vote for the preferred evening (19:00) through doodle.

I found this in the source of ogpsd on my Freerunner:
def initializeDevice( self ):
# Use high sensitivity mode
#self.send("CFG-RXM", 2, {"gps_mode" : 2, "lp_mode" : 0})
# Enable use of SBAS (even in testmode)
self.send("CFG-SBAS", 8, {"mode" : 1, "usage" : 7, "maxsbas" : 3,
"scanmode" : 0})
So it seems that SBAS has always been enabled even in test mode. Does
anybody know where we can get information if sbas is really active and
used by the chip?

Re: [Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
Hi, I've also seen this bug and I've also tracked it down to OMNewRotate. My solution so far was to always disable rotation before going into suspend. Not doing so seems to give a chance of (almost?) 100% failure. Note, that I keep the freerunner strapped in a horizontal position to my belt - so during suspend it will almost certainly be rotated, unless rotate has been switched off. Interestingly there seems to be a step before the pink line is shown: Sometimes when I boot and do not enter the PIN immediately (but still before suspend), the screen is partly garbled (lower 33% of the screen in portrait mode). After suspend, the pink line shows up. Listening to the feeling in my gut, I'd say glamo b0rks screen setup when in a rotated position. Hope this helps to narrow it down. Meanwhile - is there a way to disable OMNewRotate on boot and suspend (i.e. to only enable it manually)?
