hey again,

i'm wondering if someone can lead me to some information on how to turn off syntax coloring on vim.

i don't know how some of you people do it, but trying to read comments is nearly impossible when you have a dark shell background.

thanks for the help,
davalos

you can always just start vim, then do

:syntax off

Or, put the command you specified in a file, in your home directory, called ".exrc"

Any commands put in that file are executed on start of vi/vim.

true. but, and not to sound lazy,but its an extra step i have to take. i'd much rather figure out how to turn it off.

hey, let me ask you something... i have an athlon 2400+, 512MB DDR SDRAM, and a Radeon 9500... an almost similar box as yours. anyway...when i leave my box on for a while i'll notice some major slow down when i wake up the box. in particular, mozilla turns to a gray color, and my shell takes a while to wake up before i can even type anything.

does, or has this ever happened to you? i ran top, and i don't see any major CPU/Memory usage. i dont' know if this is a X problem, or if i've been hacked and there are some services running i don't know about. but it seems like the only way to temporarily remedy this is to restart the box.

any ideas?



thanks,
davalos

thanks, Ian. i'll give that a shot.

nope, and i leave it idle very often. THe mouse might be a litty jaggy/laggy for a few split seconds, but imho i can never config the mouse the my liking in RH.

blame it on X...or the drivers for your card
