[Xastir] A minor miracle.....and another issue with gpsd....

[Richard Polivka]

Curt,

I am currently wresting with keventd being a cycle pig
at the moment (ACPI). Hopefully I have that settled
down and that test comes tonight.

What I will do is save my modded code for both xastir
and gpsd and work off of virgin tarballs and then do
the test.

73,

Richard, N6NKO
