It 'feels' like when I am using the arrow keys to move around quickly that somethings gets mangled and the wrong key sequence gets played out as my input. I can usually use my arrow keys in vi, but when I try to scroll up or down very quickly, I can consistantly reproduce this error. Jumping to one of our production linux/BSD boxes behind the Sun server and vi works consitantly. I assumed it was some kind of terminal setting incompatability that could be rooted out, but again that is just a whim. I mainly just force myself to use the hjkl keys... -------------------- Marius Community Connect Inc On Wed, 28 Feb 2001, Kal Torak wrote: > Lanny Baron wrote: > > > > Hello Fellow FreeBSD'ers, > > Since an installation or rather an upgrade to 4.2-STABLE, I have been > > encountering problems with X using xterm's.
