Hello, I've downloaded cygwin including the rxvt-Terminal. The local terminal with bash works great, but when I connect in a rxvt-Window to a remote-Server via ssh and run there "vi", the vi-startup needs a few seconds... When I use the simple Bash-Shell in the Windows-Command-Window then vi is much faster (it opens the file instantly). Also closing vi by ":q!" needs more time when using rxvt than simple-bash.
Why is remote vi so slow when I use rxvt? Would that be better if I use xterm (currently not installed)? Additional information: I had to set export TERM=cygwin in my ~/.bashrc - otherwise the remote host answers "unknown terminal type, falling back to 'dumb'" or "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional" Rgds Dieter -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
