Deepak.....

looks like you don't have graphics privs for root while logged in as the user.......
try this
as your user and then try opening vi again.
if that isn't it i don't know.

hi
i tryed but its a giving me same error ,,
ok i got your point bue if the access is not available then how can user use xhost

Deepak

what the command xhost + does is allow root to run gui apps on the user's Xlogin. it is generally a bad idea but if you like to use "make xconfig" when configuring the kernel then you will need that command. make sure that you use the command xhost - when done though. this will shut off the permissions for root to run gui on your login

as far as the fix to the problem i don't know. sorry. i don't use vi
