What type of interface?  gpsd?  Serial?  What sort of GPS?  What version of
Xastir?  There was a bug a while ago that wouldn't recognize some GPS sentences
that weren't actually GPS (i.e. glonass, beidou, etc.).  That bug was fixed
years ago, but if you're running a packaged Xastir from some linux distro it
could be old enough to still have that problem.

No not enough information to tell what's going wrong.
