All --

Installed the Official Slackware 5.15.63 Happy Birthday Kernel and vim upgrades and all is well.

I am still checking all my personal .vimrc config files but so far so good

Thanks $1-zillion to Pat and the Team !

Thanks for the heads-up

VirtualBox 6.1.36 and NVidia driver 515.65.01 are running ok.

However, vim 9 messed up color schemes

The solution I found is to put vim 8 color schemes in ~/.vim/colors

How so? I didn't notice anything different. But I don't make heavy use of color schemes. The colors on the file I'm looking at now didn't change from vim 8.

Me too on the vim version change

I also installed a couple custom filetype files from vim82 into vim90

So far so good.
