mary: could you reserve a virtual venue for me on Thursday, 3/29/01 from 10 AM - noon central (i believe that's 4-6 PM GMT). we're having a BIG demo for Dennis Roberson, the Chief Technology Officer of Motorola, and a couple of other people. everybody else on the list: due to the fact that we're not on Abilene here at Mot the only sites we can interact with are ones with whom we have arranged peering agreements. right now that list is short -- ANL and NCSA. is anybody from either of those locations available to chat at 10 AM, and then hang around for the demo after the CTO arrives, around 10:45? -em Emilee Patrick, Senior Human Factors Engineer User Centered Research, Motorola Labs Rm. 2230, 1301 E.

Did you start the OSS drivers with soundon or oss-sound? What does cat /dev/sndstat show? --bob At 02:23 PM 3/26/2001 -0700, Gary Orser wrote: >Bob, > >on agvideo >./reflector 10000 10001 > >on agaudio, trying to use the reflector to debug my audio problems >and I keep getting > >rat -allow_loopback agvideo/10000 >audio_read: Resource temporarily unavailable >???

Bob, on agvideo ./reflector 10000 10001 on agaudio, trying to use the reflector to debug my audio problems and I keep getting rat -allow_loopback agvideo/10000 audio_read: Resource temporarily unavailable ??? What's this ^^^^ oss driver is installed and xmms sends audio to the gentner speaker Cheers, Gary ------------------------------------------------------ Gary Orser , (406) 994-6451, orser(a)nervana.montana.edu Montana State University Center for Computational Biology 1 Lewis Hall, Bozeman MT, 59717

The right answer is to get your multicast fixed so you can use vrm, which sets all of this for you :-). An additional correct answer is for us to see if win4lin will actually work well for controlling the gentner; then we can run linux on the control machine, and figure out how to make cloud to cloud bridging work. It's fairly tedious to get the video port setting right; I learned what I did from grunking thru the vic tcl sources (vic/tcl/ui-resouce.tcl has the initial settings of everything). --bob On Mon, 26 Mar 2001, Don Morton wrote: > Hi, is anybody able to point me to a definitive source on setting up > .vic.tcl on my video capture machine? > > I see an example on the Faq-o-Matiq pages, but that's only enough > to get me into trial-and-error mode, and I'm sure there has to > be a better way :) > > The vic man page really doesn't seem to have anything on the > syntax/semantics in the .vic.tcl. > > What I specifically want to do is make sure my cams are set to S-Video > when they come up, and that they get assigned appropriate labels > rather than just the default hostname.

Hi, is anybody able to point me to a definitive source on setting up .vic.tcl on my video capture machine? I see an example on the Faq-o-Matiq pages, but that's only enough to get me into trial-and-error mode, and I'm sure there has to be a better way :) The vic man page really doesn't seem to have anything on the syntax/semantics in the .vic.tcl. What I specifically want to do is make sure my cams are set to S-Video when they come up, and that they get assigned appropriate labels rather than just the default hostname. Up to now, I do all this manually when I fire up vic (actually, I fire up vtc, which in turn fires up vic, so can't "easily" use the vic command line options). In summary, something that actually explains the syntax/semantics used in .vic.tcl would be real helpful! Web searches have turned up empty.

Why not try two video cards - one for each display? It might even be a less expensive solution. I've got a TNT2 based card (agp) sitting alongside an older ATI aiwp (pci). Both work fine with Xfree4.0. This is my home machine - not our AGN. -bob At 11:00 AM -0700 3/26/01, John A.

Ah, I see. I have good hopes for the RH7.1 version of things. I think it'll add a lot of device support, and should be quite stable. --bob At 11:52 AM 3/26/2001 -0700, Gary Orser wrote: >Bob, > >As I recall, general machine stability problems. >It was a fairly new Xserver version 4.0.0 or 4.0.1. > >Cheers, Gary >------------------------------------------------------ >Gary Orser , (406) 994-6451, orser(a)nervana.montana.edu >Montana State University >Center for Computational Biology >1 Lewis Hall, Bozeman MT, 59717 > >On Mon, 26 Mar 2001, Robert Olson wrote: > > > > > >but I bailed on the problem after running into linux version problems > > >with the 4.0.??

Bob, As I recall, general machine stability problems. It was a fairly new Xserver version 4.0.0 or 4.0.1.
