Can you start gpxview from the xterm and tell me what it tells on the command line while starting without finding a gps itself? In fact it _must_ be finding something itself because it only tries five times at startup time and gives up with gps if that fails. Also my gps startup routines work very much like the ones in maemo-mapper as i took a look there to see how this is being done in maemo.

Starting Maemo Mapper first gets the GPS (external) running...

Maybe you didn't configure the GPS properly for the GPS framework but instead only configured it inside maemo-mapper? Can you e.g. access the GPS from the control panels GPS entry? Can you update your "home position" there (i am guessing the exact wording as my n810 talks german)? If your GPS only works inside maemo-mapper, chances are that you didn't properly setup the GPS in the os2008 GPS framework.

Under os2008 you basically don't configure anyting GPS related in maemo-mapper. You especially don't set a specific bluetooth gps but just leave everything blank and let the GPS framework do its thing.
