Description Charles Curley 2006-04-18 14:25:45 UTC
Description of problem:

xgps display broken

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gpsd-2.32-4.fc5
gpsd-clients-2.32-4.fc5

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in GPS receiver, fire up gpsd
2. Fire up xgps
3.
  
Actual results:

The satellite widget (top left) and the plot widgets are both blank. Also, the
satellite widget is smaller than it should be.

Expected results:

A list of satellites, with relative location information in the satellite
widget, and a plot of satellites in the plot widget.

Additional info:

This may be related to bug # 189220, q.v.

This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad R51 (http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html).
I had FC4 on it as noted on that web page. gpsd ran fine with no such messages.
I upgraded FC core via Anaconda, then updated that from updates released. gpsd
continued to run fine. I then upgraded extras, got the new gpsd, and that is
when I saw this problem.

gpsdrive appears to operate correctly.

I filed this under "gpsd" rather than "gpsd-clients" (the package that has xgps)
because there is no bugzilla package gpsd-clients.

I'm almost positive this is just a manifestation of bug 189220.  Once that's
dealt with, we'll revisit this if need be.  

Comment 2 Charles Curley 2006-05-05 03:12:11 UTC
After some discussion on the gpsd developers list, one of the devlopers
concluded that this is likely an artifact of a bug in openMotif, which bug has
been been marked fixed. See

Charles,

Thanks for looking into this for me.  I've been swamped lately and didn't put in
my due diligence.  The request is in to upgrade openmotif to a version that's
fixed.  See bug 190331.
