LyX and Xfree 4.1 on Win32
Due to an increasing number of mails concerning problems using LyX together with XFree 4.1 on Win32 I have checked this configuration myself. First of all: Using XFree needs much more time to configure (at the moment hopefully) than just installing and uing Starnet's XWin32 nearly out-of-the-box. Using the current releases of Xfree on Win2000 SR2 and this batch file to start LyX: cut here @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH% SET HOME=d:\MyHomeDirectory SET LANG=DE rem cleanup after last run attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -engine 4 start /B lyx.exe -geometry 800x700+100+5 start /B twm exit cut here opens LyX inside the Xfree window. As display manager I have choosen the standard twm which is part of Xfree itself. Because I didn't spend too much time to test this configuration my keyboard layout was not correct. But I have read about a location to pick localized keyboard layout files on Xfree's web site. So hopefully the keyboard could be configured correctly as well ;-) Now the PROBLEMS with this configuration (Because I have used Lyx before there exists a preference file in $HOME/.lyx on my system!!! All who have installed Lyx/Xfree for the first time: please look below at MAIN PROBLEM): 1) Opening any existing LyX file no text is visible. Solution: I had to disable 'scalable fonts' in Edit-Preferences inside LyX to view the text of my documents. After that LyX behaved as if using Xwin32 instead. 2) If any error box come up Xfree seems to be frozen (the cursor has been gone). Waiting 60-90 seconds brings back the cursor and work can be continued. (That's indeed no solution ;-) The MAIN PROBLEM arrised when exiting LyX/Xfree and restarting both. Due to the change I have made in Edit-Preferences LyX has created a file $HOME/.lyx/preferences.xform which only has COLOR settings as follows: \gui_background 0 0 0 ... \gui_text 0 0 0 So all colors are set to black (RGB setting 0 0 0)!? This will be default, too when installing XFree/LyX for the first time! Now nothing can be seen on the screen but a big black hole as the LyX window. Obviously LyX isn't able to determine the color values from Xfree. This seems to be a bug in Xfree or a bug in Xforms (we have to use Xforms 0.89 although Lyx on Unix is based on 0.88). Replacing that file with the following will make LyX visible and behave like using Starnet's XWin32: cut here ### This file is part of ### ### LyX, The Document Processor ### ### Copyright 1995 Matthias Ettrich ### Copyright 1995-2000 The LyX Team. ### ### # This file is written by LyX, if you want to make your own # modifications you should do them from inside LyX and save \gui_background 161 161 161 \gui_buttonbottom 38 40 38 \gui_buttonleft 186 193 186 \gui_buttonright 38 40 38 \gui_buttontop 186 193 186 \gui_inactive 110 110 110 \gui_push_button 255 255 0 \gui_selected 186 193 186 \gui_text 0 0 0 cut here I hope this helps all Xfree users a little bit ;-) Another PROBLEM concerning a stackdump produced when trying to open LyX in Xfree: I haven't tested XFCE (what is that?). Most mailers with problems have installed that package/tool or any other window manager not part of Xfree itself. Because twm shows LyX running those errors may be due to any incompatibility of those tools. Conclusion: If in doubt try using Starnet's XWin32 instead for a while! Question: Has anybody out there experiences using LyX on Xfree? If so, I would appreciate to get some hints and/or a configuration script/procedure. Claus

Cancellation in equations
Hi, I need help with the following (it is either not there or I couldn't find it because I am still not quite awake!): I have an equation that is being derived and I need to show some cancellations during the evolution. Is there a way I can show the cancellations, like a line segment (probably slope = 1, to be more specific) drawn on a division? I hope I was clear enough to be understood.. If not, I will drink more coffee! Thanks Remzi

Try something like this: \bind C-S-underscorecommand-sequence math-insert _; math-insert mathrm; But this work only for the first char after the mathrm, because there is no {}. A very ugly solution is this one: command-sequence math-insert _; tex-mode; type m; type a; type t; type h; type r; type m; type {; The closing } is added by LyX (type has the same behaviour as you with your favorite keyboard).

Sorry for the mistake. (In fact, when this thing is binded to a key, all the type stuff is done behind the math box, where the first cursor stands. The second one, the one of the math box, isn't activated until I touch the keyboard again. Probably I'm bugy, or my LyX is drunk, but two cursors are one too much.) -- Thomas.

search shortcuts don't work
The shortcuts for the search box's forward and backward search arrows are supposed to be M-f and M-b. But, in Lyx 1.1.6fix2, they move the cursor back and forth in the search text window, rather than activating forward or backward searching. If this is a bug, is this the proper place to report it? If this is not, am I confused? Thanks, Scott
Footnote on the next page
Hi! My problem is that Lyx/Latexputs the footnote mark(=number) correctly in the text of one page, but the footnote text (with correct footnote number of course) appears on the bottom of the_next_page. (I know that Lyx/Latex sometimes splits a footnote over two pages, which isn´tvery nice but acceptable. However, this is not my problem as I have interfootnotelinepenalty=1 in Latex preamble. The strange thing in my case is that it doesn´t make a difference if I comment it out or if I don´t) Therefore myquestion is: How can I prevent this well known"M$-Word-Feature"in my Lyx/Latex document? I´d like to have footnote mark and footnote text on the_same_page. Thanks in advance! Detlev

Hi, I need help with the following (it is either not there or I couldn't find it because I am still not quite awake!): I have an equation that is being derived and I need to show some cancellations during the evolution. Is there a way I can show the cancellations, like a line segment (probably slope = 1, to be more specific) drawn on a division? I hope I was clear enough to be understood.. If not, I will drink more coffee! Thanks Remzi

search shortcuts don't work
The shortcuts for the search box's forward and backward search arrows are supposed to be M-f and M-b. But, in Lyx 1.1.6fix2, they move the cursor back and forth in the search text window, rather than activating forward or backward searching. If this is a bug, is this the proper place to report it?

Footnote on the next page
Hi! My problem is that Lyx/Latexputs the footnote mark(=number) correctly in the text of one page, but the footnote text (with correct footnote number of course) appears on the bottom of the_next_page. (I know that Lyx/Latex sometimes splits a footnote over two pages, which isn´tvery nice but acceptable. However, this is not my problem as I have interfootnotelinepenalty=1 in Latex preamble. The strange thing in my case is that it doesn´t make a difference if I comment it out or if I don´t) Therefore myquestion is: How can I prevent this well known"M$-Word-Feature"in my Lyx/Latex document? I´d like to have footnote mark and footnote text on the_same_page. Thanks in advance! Detlev

LyX and Xfree 4.1 on Win32
Due to an increasing number of mails concerning problems using LyX together with XFree 4.1 on Win32 I have checked this configuration myself. First of all: Using XFree needs much more time to configure (at the moment hopefully) than just installing and uing Starnet's XWin32 nearly out-of-the-box. Using the current releases of Xfree on Win2000 SR2 and this batch file to start LyX: cut here @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH% SET HOME=d:\MyHomeDirectory SET LANG=DE rem cleanup after last run attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -engine 4 start /B lyx.exe -geometry 800x700+100+5 start /B twm exit cut here opens LyX inside the Xfree window. As display manager I have choosen the standard twm which is part of Xfree itself. Because I didn't spend too much time to test this configuration my keyboard layout was not correct. But I have read about a location to pick localized keyboard layout files on Xfree's web site. So hopefully the keyboard could be configured correctly as well ;-) Now the PROBLEMS with this configuration (Because I have used Lyx before there exists a preference file in $HOME/.lyx on my system!!! All who have installed Lyx/Xfree for the first time: please look below at MAIN PROBLEM): 1) Opening any existing LyX file no text is visible. Solution: I had to disable 'scalable fonts' in Edit->Preferences inside LyX to view the text of my documents. After that LyX behaved as if using Xwin32 instead. 2) If any error box come up Xfree seems to be frozen (the cursor has been gone). Waiting 60-90 seconds brings back the cursor and work can be continued. (That's indeed no solution ;-) The MAIN PROBLEM arrised when exiting LyX/Xfree and restarting both. Due to the change I have made in Edit->Preferences LyX has created a file $HOME/.lyx/preferences.xform which only has COLOR settings as follows: \gui_background 0 0 0 ... \gui_text 0 0 0 So all colors are set to black (RGB setting 0 0 0)!? This will be default, too when installing XFree/LyX for the first time! Now nothing can be seen on the screen but a big black hole as the LyX window. Obviously LyX isn't able to determine the color values from Xfree. This seems to be a bug in Xfree or a bug in Xforms (we have to use Xforms 0.89 although Lyx on Unix is based on 0.88). Replacing that file with the following will make LyX visible and behave like using Starnet's XWin32: cut here ### This file is part of ### ### LyX, The Document Processor ### ### Copyright 1995 Matthias Ettrich ### Copyright 1995-2000 The LyX Team. ### ### # This file is written by LyX, if you want to make your own # modifications you should do them from inside LyX and save \gui_background 161 161 161 \gui_buttonbottom 38 40 38 \gui_buttonleft 186 193 186 \gui_buttonright 38 40 38 \gui_buttontop 186 193 186 \gui_inactive 110 110 110 \gui_push_button 255 255 0 \gui_selected 186 193 186 \gui_text 0 0 0 cut here I hope this helps all Xfree users a little bit ;-) Another PROBLEM concerning a stackdump produced when trying to open LyX in Xfree: I haven't tested XFCE (what is that?). Most mailers with problems have installed that package/tool or any other window manager not part of Xfree itself. Because twm shows LyX running those errors may be due to any incompatibility of those tools. Conclusion: If in doubt try using Starnet's XWin32 instead for a while! Question: Has anybody out there experiences using LyX on Xfree? If so, I would appreciate to get some hints and/or a configuration script/procedure. Claus

Math macros are ok for a complex/long formula that appears quite often in your text: you define it one time (which is a bit tedious) and then you can use it all over the place. (See the attached lyx-file for an example) If you have a lot of different fromulas, it might be helpfull to define keybindings for sub- and superscript: In my keybindings-file I have \bind "C-S-underscore""math-insert _" # subscript \bind "C-asciicircum" "math-insert ^" # superscript So for water, I press H Ctrl-_ 2 Esc O. Note that I don't need to switch to math_mode with Ctrl-M, as Ctrl-_ does this for me (if not already in, but then I could simply use _ without Ctrl). PS: Question to the gurus: Could I have a function or macro that does this but also changes the font to roman? \bind "C-S-underscore""math-insert _\mathrm{}"does not work defining a (math-macro sub 1) does not work either (font changes cannot be included in the macro definiton in a WYSIWYM manner, only via \textrm{#1} all in red) Guenter -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] #LyX 1.1 created this file.
