Was the player fully exited at that time? I am having serial problems but only when the player is mucking with the port.

Curious as to what the player is doing with the serial port, at least once it is up and running.

Since i went to the trouble of building the armtools setup and setting a bunch of symlinks to the tools, I decided to try to cross-compile the gps3d/gps that I have running on Redhat/Windows -- see if gpsd would run alongside the player. Unfortunately, I got some assembler "invalid option -Qy" error from two object files that I can't seem to track down. I might try again tomorrow. FWIW, the source for that is about 300 lines, not bad, I think, for what it does.

Once you do let your source out, I'd like to look at it WRT creating a very simple time set and time display extension (a full-screen HH:MM:SS display).

Thanks,
