 What's wrong with KEdit or GEdit?  Or vi, for that matter?

[newbie] Matrox Mystique on 10.0

2005-03-04 Thread Dave Williams
 I've been running a second monitor off a Matrox Mystique
card for the last few weeks.  I've been running M10.0/Official.
 After installing M10.1/Official, I'm getting some funky behavior
on the screen the Matrox is driving.  When I scroll in Konqueror,
lines get doubled, images get corrupted, and I get a string of
cursor images.
 The driver is mga, same as showed up in 10.0.
 Is anyone else running a Mystique with 10.1?  Any troubles?

try a reinstall of vim

 That's such a... windowy solution.
True but it do work and is easy to do 
 Hmm... I just found out something interesting.  Vi works
fine in single monitor mode, but it gives me that odd message
when I'm running both monitors...

[newbie] vim error

2005-03-03 Thread Dave Williams
 I recently did a full install of M10.1 onto a blank hard disk.  This 
is the first time I've run 10.1; it's *much* faster than 10.0 Official.

 Everything looks good, except whenever I fire up vi, I get the 
following message:

E575: viminfo: Illegal starting char in line: ^V4516^@
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
 I get the same message when I use shift-ZZ to exit.
 This happens in a konsole in KDE, and it also happens if I use 
ctrl-alt-F1 and log into a pty session.  vi seems to *work* okay, it 
just gives me this odd message.

 Where should I look for a problem?
