Don't worry, it's ok... but where .ro is anyway?

If it's a hardware problem, it's a weird one. Difficult to say what is the
problem.
Try compiling lyx without optimizations (no -O to gcc) and with debugging
info (-g). I'm not sure how to do that but probably you can just edit
Makefile after running configure and before running make. Remember running
"make clean" if you've compiled LyX earlier in the same directory.
Then run LyX under debugger (gdb lyx and "run" command to gdb) and see
what it says. If it segfaults, give command "bt" to gdb and see where it
crashed. Display some variables (if you know C at least a bit) with "print
variablename" or "display variablename". And then show the results in this
mailing list.
Which kernel version you're using, compiled with which compiler? Maybe
your compiler or kernel is bad, remember that only some compilers can be
used for compiling linux kernel, depending on kernel version.
What X version you're using, is it self-compiled (not that it makes it any
better if it's not, for example slackware 3.1 ghostscript binary was
broken until I compiled it myself).
