Hi George, Which AG RPMs did you use? I'm running RHEL3 on my audio and video machines and WinXP on my display machine. I used the RPMs from the University of Queensland site at
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~grangenet/ag_fedora/ One thing to note is that the rat in those packages needs to have the ALSA sound drivers installed (it looks for /proc/asound/version and dies if it doesn't find it). Once I installed the ALSA sound drivers (and unmuted the volume!) Rat works well. I'm using a service certificate for both audio and video machines so that the AGServiceManager.py can be run at boot and needed to make some changes to the /etc/init.d/agsm script in order to get it to run properly. I will attach my notes. I haven't had any problems with connecting to the audio and video machines from the display machine. It does take me quite a while to change venues as well.
