Please disregard this advice. It is impossible to get 1.3.x to do what I
suggest; it'll create a PNG file from the XFIG one if you use pdflatex.
Ok, rather than create that EPS file as you have done already, create a PDF
one by running
fig2dev -L pdf your_file.fig your_file.pdf
from the command line. LyX should automatically use the right one if you go
lyx->latex->dvi->ps->pdf (the EPS file) or if you go lyx->latex->pdf (the PDF
file).
