It does the scan in the settings panel and finds the GPS device and then when I enbled the GPS, it just stays at "Establishing GPS Fix" and nothing happens for hours. I verified that in the xterm, i can run "cat /dev/rfcomm0" as user and get gps output. I even tried the maemo-bt-plugin and that one can connect to the GPS devise fine.

Anyone have any suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
Sorry, all I can append is -

Yesterday I upgraded to SU-18_2006SE_2.2006.39-14_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin and I use the modded Maemo Mapper 1.1 that has the twin Maps loading capability ( Topology or Streets) and this works fine with my Rikaline Bluetooth GPS

I loaded the Mapper 1.2 also and got it working, but decided to unistall it as I currently have a need to toggle between Topogy and Street maps.
