FWIW, I am running FSO-testing on my Neo 1973 (not the FreeRunner). I
am using an external antenna, and have verified that it is workng on
my FreeRunner (which doesn't run FSO).
Since this is a 1973, I have installed gllin[1], and dbus-monitor
shows that gps events are sent:
root at om-gta01:~# dbus-monitor --system
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.9
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameAcquired
   string ":1.9"
signal sender=:1.3 -> dest=(null destination) path=/org/gpsd;
interface=org.gpsd; member=fix
   double nan
   int32 1
   double nan

signal sender=:1.3 -> dest=(null destination) path=/org/gpsd;

And the output from gpsd shows that it gets a fix:

Nut neither zhone nor tangoGPS gets anything, not even time from the gps.
