\(\bullet\) not appearing

[Dr. Jon R. Fox]

When I run lyx (1.1.15-fix2-1) on an itemize list LyX puts nice graphical bullets in 
the gui but nothing in the dvi or ps output... unless I switch from \bullet\ to 
\(\circ\). What's going on here? 

I'm running debian-testing (potato+stable bits of woody) which includes 
tex 1.0.2.20000804-4 and tetex-bin 1.0.6-7
thanks
Jon
