[AG-TECH] Vic Problem on Linux Computer?

[Gary Refka]

Michael,

Have you tried running "TOP" (if you haven't used this before, just type top
in an open terminal window.  This will show process running, memory used,
CPU utilization etc.) to see if there is a process chewing up your CPU
cycles?  This may lead you to the guilty culprit.

We have downloaded the Linux AccessGrid software and installed on a Dell
Dual-Processor computer. When we attempt to start Vic Video computer running
RedHat 6.2 with 4 Hauppauge video capture cards. The computer becomes very
slow
or freezes as soon as Vic is executed. We are testing Vic to a unicast
address
(network card appears to be functioning). The video display is a Matrox AGP
dual
head card. The computer has 512 RAM, 1024 Swap space. Even if we are
successful
at closing VIC, the computers remains slow. It seems to be a kernel problem
(killing PID's does not seem to fix the problem). Any ideas would be
helpful.
