Hi,

To connect GPS it needs USB serial port driver. The USB GPS modules
actually contains USB to serial chip like ftdi or prolific.
At the moment there is not at all in real device /lib/modules.
Most propably it needs to have module for usb chip unless it is
compiled into kernel.

I was about to try 770 with a bluetooth GPS when I only have enough
spare time. I think that might be cool. My brother has one and works
like charm in car use. Might be nice to be used in a plane also.

I haven't yet studied how bluetooth GPS devices interact with
the host, but I would assume that they simply talk NMEA over
bluetooth serial protocol.. don't know for sure.

Then i tried to take screenshots from real 770 device, I noticed that
it is listening the only unix domain socket so i can't grap screen with
external application. I also compiled xgrabsc to grab screen locally
but xgrapsc just makes the device to boot.

You could try to use gdk_get_default_root_window, gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable and then save this to a file.

Haven't tried it my self but it should work AFAIK.


Br,
Sampo
