My main problem with the FR at the moment is that the volume in the built-in

How did you guys handle the gpsd for TangoGPS under 2008.8?
I thought 2008.8 used gypsy or a dbus-based gpsd or something. Will
installing gpsd conflict with whichever gypsy-solution is used on 2008.8?
Which gpsd package did you install, if that's what you did?

A couple of questions about the GSM antenna:
