I think it's a Linux kernel 2.6 issue which was discussed in the "AG2.2
replacement for setupvideo.py" thread of this mailinglist a couple of weeks
ago. A patch was posted for AccessGrid/Platform/unix/Config.py, but hasn't
made it to CVS yet.

A number of other Fedora Core 2 changes have made it to CVS, I'll try and
make a new RPM version based on the CVS code with the Config.py patch and
post the location later today.

Cheers,
Doug
