Two additional ideas that may be useful to those using LyX on MacOSX:
- Xdvi, at least the fink installation, is flakey on MacOS 10.2. A
better solution for viewing DVI on the Mac is MacDviX, available from
http://www.kiffe.com/textools.html -- which is a native Aqua DVI viewer
that does not require Xwindows. It's quick, versatile, and reliable.
To configure in LyX, define the DVI viewer in preferences as `open -a
MacDviX' without the quotes. If you also use MacGhostviewX for
Postscript and Preview or Acrobat Reader for PDF files, you will need
Xwindows only for LyX itself.
- To use the Mac command key as a Meta key, put the following lines
in .Xmodmap:
clear mod1
add mod1 = Meta_L
and make sure your X-windows window manager runs xmodmap during startup.
