[AG-TECH] AG3.1 and VIC problems

Hi Mike,

Which Fedora version are you running? If it's Fedora Core 6 or earlier,
make certain you have the latest vic installed (i.e. yum update vic, or
maybe yum install vic). If you have one of the older AccessGrid-vic RPMs
installed, it can't handle the changes introduced with AG 3.1 (so would
most likely end up defaulting to the last videocard /dev/video3). Also
if the VideoProducers are listed as /dev/video0 ... 3 instead of
V4L:/dev/video0 ... 3 (or V4L2:/dev/something), you'll have to delete
the VideoProducers and add them back in.




Cheer,
Doug
