Vim problem

Hy!

When I'm writting text in Vim, I'm having problems with backspace!
I can erase with backspace when I enter some text, but after i switch to
another line and try to erase some text I wrote before, it wont work!

Have someone any idea?

Thanks!
Bruno

I believe that's normal/standard behaviour. In this case, you need to use
the Delete key or the 'x' key.

Yes, I know that. But backspace works fine on every other linux I tried.
Do you have any idea how to set it up to work with backspace?

:map ^V<press backspace> x

In insert mode backspace is supposed to erase the last typed character,
but in command mode it is x
