Thanks for your quick reply. Well I'm not using any X-server nor do I intend to.
I just find that I logon to server with SSH instead of telnet(as server doesn't support this). All I want to use vim in consol mode because it works very fast, and is working on other server with the same settings. After the file gets open it works as expected but its very long time it takes to open the file. So far as display settings are concerned I have that in .bashrc file and I'm exporting DISPLAY variable anyways. I tried the same with without setting that as well but result is the same. Not sure whats happening. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Purl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 7:51 PM To: A.J.Mechelynck Cc: Jagpreet; vim@vim.org Subject: Re: startup extremely slow On Thu, March 29, 2007 9:16 am, A.J.Mechelynck wrote: > To avoid trying to connect with an X server in an X-enabled console > Vim (which could be a console version with clipboard support, or a GUI > version being run in console mode), use -X on the shell command line > for Vim, thus: > > vim -X foobar.txt Thanks a ton Richard and Tony! This is a much easier solution to my problem than what I'm doing today (setting the DISPLAY var). Does this help you Jagpreet? Tom Purl
