The module is the gadget that "translates" the stuff coming in from the Garmin, creates the port, and connects /dev/ttyUSB9 to it. Without the module, there's no device - serial or otherwise - to which 'com1', etc. could be connected. I can see the output in Linux - whether by running 'gpsd' in debug mode or running 'gpsdrive' and having it show my correct location. I just can't see it under Wine, although there are some indications that there's _something_ connected to the serial port. -- * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://LinuxGazette.NET *
