@fuzzybud, I have no problem with my Sempron 2500+ with 1 GB of RAM so perhaps the issue is as aesenadorjr suggested.

@wavetel, All of my DSL development is using Vim. It is the only editor that I use. No problem.

wavetel: Help files for most applications in DSL have been removed to save space for more applications. It is a necessary result of building the most complete system possible within 50mb.

There is almost always documentation available at the developers' websites, in this case vim.org. Please note that DSL's vim is a minimal build, so some documented features are not available.

There are also many places on the web that provide help with the basics of vim; a google search should get you some help quickly.

Press i to enter insert mode to type in the document.
Press Escape to go back to normal command mode.
To exit vim -> :q (in normal mode)
To save the current document and exit vim -> :wq
To quit without saving a modified document -> :q!
To save a document without quitting -> :w or :w filename

Robert, I will wait for the next version of 4.0 to see how it works on my computer. I looked for rc4 on the net but didn't find it. 3.4.4 works fine so I will use that.

With rc5 everything looks good except for Xvesa. I tried booting with different settings but that didn't help. I changed the keyboard and mouse just on the off chance that it might be something like that. I would change the video from onboard to the spare nVidia 5200 I have but I have Mepis and PC-BSD installed on this computer and have no problems with those two operating systems using excessive CPU. This hard disk has lots of room so I installed Zenwalk 4.8 with no problems. And I ran a few live CDs of other OSes without a problem. I think that would eliminate a hardware problem. I don't really know.


--------------
What do I really know and how do I know it?

Hey, did you try Xfbdev, the other X server?
