[AG-TECH] HD vic on Linux

[Richard Palmer]

Dear Chris,

Worked perfectly, many thanks Chris. I used a backported version of dkms.
Could only test it with PAL camera over s-video today, that was fine, will
try to test the HD camera later in the week and report back.

I'm still trying to piece Access Grid together as a system so forgive the
possibly foolish next question, but if I launch the standalone HD vic can
that then be used as part of a AccessGrid session in some way ? (using 
the Venue client). If so, how ?.

Thanks again,

Richard
