<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks, you were right on the money. I had created an account on the linux boxes for myself as the new AG operator but forgot to give permissions to both the audio and video devices.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks again!</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The problem is probably that the video devices on your linux box are </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>either in use, or you don't have permissions to access them. If either </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of those is true, vic will default to transmitting X11 screen captures.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is a common problem when one person logs in to the console, and </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>another person tries to run the AG software, because the devices will be </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>owned by the first person and closed to everyone else.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I was recently put in charge of an access grid node and am having </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> problems seeing the camera views on the display manager.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Our setup is much like the one in the 'Building an Acess Grid Node' </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> document. Went in yesterday and brought everything up. The only </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> problem is that instead of seeing what the camera is seeing, the video </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> server (agvideo) seems to be transmitting its own screen, showing the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Video Resource Manager on the linux desktop in the thumbnail windows </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> on the Win2K display PC.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I've double-checked cable connections and settings and everything </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> appears to be in place. Also, no network problems have been </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> discovered. I know the cameras are on and broadcasting because they </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> are also hooked to a small monitor and show the correct conference </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> room views. Anyone have an idea why I'm getting my video server screen </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> instead of a camera view in my venues display? All other nodes from </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> other sites come in fine.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> My venues.accessgrid.org location info is Institution Lobby --> U.S. </FONT>
