But the my other concern is about the fact that I can easily get the

from lyx, but not from teh .tex file generated by lyx.
Does lyx use a special option of latex?
As Guenter pointed out in your other thread, it makes a difference how
you generate the PDF within LyX. Depending on what LaTeX programs you
have installed, you can get LyX to generate a PDF using pdflatex,
dvipdfm, LuaTeX, XeTeX or ps2pdf (maybe other choices I don't know
about). If viewing or exporting (as PDF) using pdflatex works from LyX,
but you try exporting as LaTeX (plain) and then running latex against
that file, something may go amiss. Even worse, if you export as LaTeX
(pdflatex) and then run latex (or LuaTeX or whatever) against that file,
a mismatch may occur.
As to special options, if you go to Tools > Preferences... > File

(e.g., LaTeX(pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)), you'll see the command being
issued and any extra options (flags) that are set.
