When I upgraded from FC3 last weekend I didn't really have to configure the vncserver.... it was installed by default... I use graphical clients to connect to it... there's the 'VNC Viewer' vnc client in the Accessories group in the Main Gnome program listing... and then I use a graphical VNC Viewer on a Windows 2000 machine on my local network... Everything worked fine with FC3 and it worked 'ok' at first when the installation of the FC4 completed last weekend but then it just suddenly started abruptly closing the window whenever I try to make a connection ... I wish I knew where the log file was located. I guess I'm not going to really know what's going on until I see the log file Thanks for your input.
