[AG-TECH] Fedora2 and Video sources

[ULM AccessGrid]

Hi Doug,

Well, I installed the RPMS and started the Venue client(an XP machine with
the patch for multi-os systems installed).  I did see my 3 capture cards.
When I went to add them I got an add service error.  I figured that those
machines have been on for a while and probable need to me restarted.  Once
rebooted I started the AGServiceManager.py on the Fedora machine and the
client on the XP machine.  Now NONE of my video sources show up anymore,
only X11 again.  This is true if I run the venue client on capture machine
also.

Any thoughts??

Thanks

I've placed a new RPM CVS snapshot at:
  http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC2/unstable/RPMS/
(Note: Exit in the Venue menu of the VenueClient doesn't work due to
some bug in CVS)

It includes the following patches:
  http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC2/unstable/patches/
plus, Steve Smith's Alsa 0.9/1.0 driver patch.


I'm going to post more details about it on the mailinglist when I get to
work.
