I am trying to access my GPS using wine 0.9.24 0n Suse 10.2 and Cxoffice 6.0 Beta 3a . Cxoffice 5.03 does not work at all with my Suse 10.2 installation. The Magellan road mate tools work well enough in both cxoffce beta and wine, however wine seems to handle it better when importing POI ( Points of Interest) files. Overall I think the wine included with Suse 10.2 is doing a better job - ironic because I always used cxoffice because I thought it would be more refined. The only configuration problem I still have is getting the program to communicate with the Road Mate 3050T GPS. as root I did : modprobe usbserial vendor=0x120f product=0x524d afterwards dmesg produced: usbcore: registered new driver usbserial drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic usbcore: registered new driver usbserial_generic drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core ohci_hcd 0000:00:0c.0: wakeup usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 usb 3-1: new device found, idVendor=120f, idProduct=524d usb 3-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 3-1: Product: Magellan RoadMate USB Sync usb 3-1: Manufacturer: MiTAC. usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usbserial_generic 3-1:1.0: generic converter detected usb 3-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 as root I did : chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 as user I tried: ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 Can you tell me how to get the Magellan gps to communicate with the windows program running in wine? I have read several on line posts and it appears wine users are getting their programs to work with their attached GPS. I really would like to be able to transfer POI files to and from my GPS, and hate to buy a windows system just for that purpose. The Magellan program has windows usb drivers included. thanks in advance joe _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
