Thanks, I'll add the udev rule for this device.
Whether to start gpsd or not is more complex than it looks like. We cannot just
run it on udev plugin events by default, because most GPS devices have a
generic usbserial chip included, which makes them indistinguishable from other
devices using these chips (see bug #432420).
The u-blox device, however, has its own distinct USB id. It probably makes
sense to start gpsd in this case. However, we definitely want to have a way to
disable gpsd autostart here as well. I've adjusted the udev script to honor a
third option to GPSD_STARTBYUDEV and made it the default (for new installations
of the package): if you set it to "realgpsonly", it will start gpsd on hotplug
for devices we can safely identify as GPS receivers, but not for generic
usbserial devices.
Daniel, can you give the package at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jreuter:/branches:/Applicati...
a try and report whether it works for you? (Move /etc/sysconfig/gpsd away
before installing the package to get the new default for GPSD_STARTBYUDEV.
Also, the version for FACTORY doesn't build currently.)
