I've been having exactly the same problem -- but only on some installations of LyX. Notably, those that use an old version of the xforms library. I eventually narrowed the problem to EPS files that contain only grayscale images. The internal conversion to PNG for display produces a grayscale PNG file which, for some reason or other, can't be displayed properly. My workaround was to add a tiny bit of colour when converting, by adding the option '-colorize 1/0/0' to the 'convert' program that does all the work. Glenn
