It seems that in some circumstances, DISPLAY is set when you login, even if you have no X running. This causes vim to think that there ARE some instance of X running, and thus it fails to start. It seems related to ssh, and I think the problem is really there. If 'unset DISPLAY' works, as someone in this thread mentioned, it's a much better solution than the vim-with-x flag. //H -- To segfault is human; to bluescreen moronic. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
