I've had this issue before when I couldn't connect to the x server. I
know that you're not using Gvim, but I've even had this issue when
trying to use the terminal version.
Here's two things you can try:
1. Export your display variable so that it matches the IP of your
client. For example, if your client's IP is 1.2.3.4, run the following
command on the server:
export DISPLAY=1.2.3.4:0.0
Also, you may need to have some sort of xserver running on your client,
like exceed.
2. Pass some switch to vim that forces it to ignore any display
settings. I don't know if this setting exists.
In the end, I'm think you're having display issues. Are there any
xserver experts out there who could give Jagpreet a less half-baked
solution?
HTH!
