Do you mean graphical gvim window or vim running in a terminal? In the latter case which one and should vim follow terminal background? Is tmux or screen involved?

Besides colorscheme there is another setting
   :set background=dark
or
   :set background=light
I do not remember if proper value is reliably chosen during startup e.g. for terminal applications setting TERM=xterm-256color

Finally, if
   colorscheme white
works despite the warning, what happens if you commented out or removing this line?

hi, thank you for your post,
At last I actually did that, i.e. I replaced the vi binary by a script
which redirects stderr to /dev/null, and that works perfectly
best regards,
