What brand of gps (or more important serial device)? Lsusb? Dpkg-reconfigure gpsd might help. If it is an FTDI generic serial port, it is NOT associated with gpsd via udev by default, but you can enable it.

Yo All!
I just got an odroid-u2, a core 4-core ARM board that kicks the raspi
under the carpet:

I popped on Debian Wheezy and it works great.
I can now confirm that the debian gpsd package by default does not work with
USB GPS.
The package starts gpsd this way:
gpsd -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /var/run/gpsd.pid
But it never sees the USB GPS.
If I do the obvious, then things work fine:
killall gpsd
gpsd -n /dev/ttyUSB0
I'm not familiar with how the gpsd control socket thing works. Can someone
give me a clue how to debug this thing?
BTW, I can sorta see why debian puts the gpsd clients in a separate
package as they puul in a ton of dependencies, but cgps does not need
many dependencies, so I think debian should include that in the bas
package.
