I installed xcolor 2.00 and pgf-0.65 and latex-beamer-3.01 from latex-beamer.sf.net.
I reconfigured lyx and have the Beamer presentation layout. I started looking at documentation in the latex-beamer download. But I am looking for lyx examples. http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Beamer appears empty. Does anyone have any simple lyx examples for beamer to share? Before I was using prosper to have around ten slides with a few bullet points on each slide. My system is setup to do "US Paper" by default and prosper was doing A4. And my prosper presentation in PDF only used up about 1/4 of my screen. As I had spent a lot of time on prosper and had heard good things about beamer, I decided to give it a try. My presentation looks nice. But I am not sure how to get it to use my available screen space. Now I have a gv window displaying the PDF. It says "y792x612" as the paper size and it is in portrait mode (by default). My presentation is in the bottom left corner of the entire white page. How can I get it to use the entire 792x612? Or how can I get it to use entire US Letter size? (The paper size doesn't matter since I will be not be printing?) When exporting to PDF, I get: dvips: note: -t selected paper may be too large I tried setting Layout > Document > Layout > Paper > Orientation to Landscape, but then viewing PDF did: dvips: both landscape and papersize specified: ignoring landscape And gv said the papersize was now y272.13x362.83 This was too small, but at least my presentation used by the entire paper size. How can I do landscape mode using a larger paper size while using the entire paper? And is there is documentation that briefly and quickly explains each of the "beamer" choices in the lyx drop-down menu? (Reading the 200+ page beamer guide helps, but is slow.) Jeremy C.
