I'm sure it's just some strange confluence of factors, but for me, on
that particular combination of hardware, FC4 just wasn't going to do
it with an acceptable amount of messing about, so I made the
(reluctant) decision to look elsewhere.  Kubuntu worked out of the box
(once I downloaded the kernel headers, which it doesn't install by
default).

Like I said Fedoras 1 to 3 had worked flawlessly, but FC4 just didn't
want to play.

Under FC4, I had no problems compiling and running the client and if I
stayed in console mode, everything worked perfectly with the VPN, it
was just in graphical mode, it fell apart.

Maybe it's an Xorg problem rather than strictly a Fedora one, but the
two are pretty much tied together in the distro and either way, it
didn't work as I needed it to and I couldn't persuade it to do so with
the time I had available, so I gave up and fixed it another way.

Such is life.

I'll be back for FC5 ;-)
