gpsd has to be running for gpsmon to work.
Gpsmon is a sort of a xgps.
If you want to clean it up...from synaptic package manager mark for complete removal gpsd-clients
Mark for complete removal gpsd
install gpsd and gpsd-clients...............libgps20 should be part of one of the packages. Install cutecom.
etc.
IOW if it's messed up just remove and re-install.

Keep us posted mate,

Jeff

Command line (terminal install) of gpsd works this way too.
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients # loads it all at once.
xgps #can be run with-out sudo is in the package
We'll keep expanding on this for a bit.
Thanks Prof. Cleve and Morgan the proof reader.
Read $man gpsd # some time ....reminder" # " is a handy bit. Programs in Linux don't read anything past the #. Handy for comments.

She works! following Jeff's instructions above on a MK3 CF-30, I've got Terminal scrolling sats and Foxtrot Gps locked on my position. I can save the screen shot but NOT post but can attest that yes the gps is working, and working well...

Okay, power pull reset and settings to factory defaults in bios. I Enabled GPS in bios and manually set it to
ttyS0 I/O 0x3f8 = irq 4
Rebooting now, more to follow
thank you
