Hi

My gta01 never gets gps lock,  i've had it outside for over 15min on 
multiple occasions over the past few months with no luck.
I followed the instructions here 
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-November/011916.html 
to get gllin installed
and i do get the $GPxxx info, it just never locks. (Always A1).

I get the date on the $GPRMC line which i've been told means the gps 
receiver has found at least one satellite.
I've tried it on different kernel/rootfs images and i get the same thing.

Does anybody else have this problem?
