You do want to use GPSd with Xastir, that'll come close to what you're
looking for.
I don't know if the USB GPS will work with the stock linux install on
the eee, but in any case, you're better off with a serial GPS and a good
serial/USB connector.
The thing to do is open up a terminal, plug the
Serial/USB converters have vendor/product ID's. If the converter that is being
used for the GPS dongle does not register, no comms will take place.
Best place to check to see if your system is recognizing the unit is to plug it
in and do a "dmesg" and see if the system creates the serial port. I
I think gpsd, possibly with some linux-only driver, might do. Docs indicate
it works with the USb-only/Garmin protocol only GPS18-USB. No idea if it
holds true for other USB-only Garmins.

Not sure if this helps but when I had the EEE I played with Roadnav
and a cheap UT-41 GPS and it worked fine by using gpsd.
gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0

I know nothing about it... Since there are many Linux gurus (better than
me) on this list, they may be able to provide a better answer...

Is that a combo which will work? I just purchased GPSGate to work with
the USB GPS on Windows programs, but I don't see a Linux equivalent, and
I really want to get this new laptop up and running with Xastir.
Can do?
