[AG-TECH] Problems with RH9 and 2.2

[Conference Accessgrid]

Hello,

I have a RH9 video machine and the rest of the node is XP.  XP won't stop 
combining all the video cards into one entry called Microsoft video capture 
device so the video machine was built with linux.  2.1.2 works flawlessly in 
this setup.  All the VIC's are comming up like they are suppose to.

Then I upgraded to 2.2.......

Now my linux machine has lots of problems.  Here they are in order.

1.  When installing I have to use the force (--force) command in order to     
combat this install error: (python-optik is used by up2date and the files are 
already in the location that the AccessGrid software is tring to install.)

Once installed...

2.  (most severe part)  When I try to connect to the service manager it lets 
me, i choose either videoservice or videoproducerservice and the correct 
device (/dev/video0)

Here's where the problem occours.  The windows venue client sends out the 
WINDOWS!! executable over to the linux machine and tried to run it which of 
course does not work.

I worked around that by copying the two video zip files from the linux machine 
to the windows machine(display)

Well, next time I tried to start the video it sent over the video zip file 
that I just coppied over and vic started up like it was suppose to.

That was fine, now i have one video source working.  However when i tried to 
add another source it would not let me add anything except X11???  I tried and 
tried but it would always let me add one input device but never more then 
one.  There's not even an option to choose a device on the other ones.  Not 
even in the vic windows on the linux machine.  Under device, all they show is 
X11 except for the first vic instance that was run.  So as of right now I have 
had to revert back to 2.1.2.  Is there no SetupVideo in 2.2 anymore??  In 
fact, I can't seem to find anywhere where 2.2 looks for the video devices

HELP!!!!
