Maybe i give xfm a try. But when i think that i have to recunfigure the
matchbox-keyboard to work i first have to find the needed information
for that.

Thats a good question. But i tried the gps with tangogps and it works
quide good. So i think the fix is already implemented.
But maybe it only works good because i used the agps utility from the
mokoservicescripts which requests the gps data for my position and feeds
the agps chip with it to get a faster fix. ;)
