Hi Doug, 

I tried your vic release out earlier today, must say, the controls actually 
work! The controls used to be quite a risk to use because it normally makes 
vic unresponsive and thus takes the AG toolkit along with it. But now I can 
use the V4L2 controls and not have to worry about my AG client becoming 
unresponsive. 

As to the mysterious freezing of one of the vic screens, I am still faced 
with that problem. However, it now occurs after a much longer period of 
time, usually at about 15 mins or so, and once that happens the vic goes 
back to the usual green screen. So that problem still continue's to mystify 
me.
