[FSO] M4.1 issues (GPS, Suspend)

[Antony King]

This is the behavour I noticed; it seems that the GPS resets itself for some 
reason and then ogpsd/frameworkd can't talk to it any more because it is 
expecting UBX but is getting NMEA. There's a bug #265 against it but not been 
a lot of activity on that recently. Search the mailing list for GPS - it came 
up originally in a debian distro but with the same symptoms so it's most 
likely a frameworkd problem rather than FSO specific.

On FSO M4 , on the GPS app in Zhone, you can get status info for each 
satellite by pressing the unlabled buttons on screen; even without a fix you 
should normally get a few with 'signal unusable' or 'downloading' or 
something other than 'searching' even if you are indoors (for certain values 
of indoors of course).
