Because 'gpsdriver' seems to be some kind of middleware between userspace applications and kernel driver. It powers On/Off the GPS, uploads also something like GPS Almanac data from /var/lib/gps/nvd_data to GPS driver and it seems, that it also writes back this blob when the GPS is about to shutdown. > Do you happen to know where the N810 keeps its battery information. > /dev/acpi/battery like on my laptop does not exist . No, but there's battery applet which needs to read that info from somewhere... -- ynezz
