vic on Vidcap Machines

I compiled the Brooktree 878 device into the kernels on vidcap3-cs and vidcap4-cs, and created the device file /dev/bktr0. I then grabbed the latest Open Mash out of CVS and compiled it into my Vidcap local user account. vic is running fine, but I can't find a signal on the S-Video port of the Bt878 cards where the cameras in 155 Sitterson are plugged in. All I'm getting is a deep blue screen. There's some other signal going into Port-1 of the Bt878 which I can view as a bunch of multicolored snow, so I know the card is working and vic is talking to it. I must need to do something special to either turn on the cameras or activate the signal.
