Fab thanks, FWIW, before I could get xorg-x11-server to upgrade, I  
also needed:

rpm -ivh 'http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/fedora-setup-keyboard/0.3/2.fc11/i586/fedora-setup-keyboard-0.3-2.fc11.i586.rpm'

:-)

Yea it's now booting into gdm, but going back to console, and back to  
gdm, and back to console, and... If you're quick you can just about  
catch a dialogue and get it into a GNOME desktop, but I haven't made  
it into a Sugar desktop yet as I can't see the session manager pop-up).

But thanks for getting me a little further :-)
