Hi I am using vi to edit my XF86Config file. I have made the additions but I cn't exit vi. I have tried :wq, :w and :q and none of them work. All that happens is the commans get inserted as if I was just typing anything else. Is there anthor command to exit from vi and save the changes. Scott

Installing Gentoo
If you've finished the install guide, look somewhere else. But if you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place.
