Hello Marc,
I came to the same conclusion about using the defaults.
I use the defaults with Windows and Lyx 1.3.7 and on Linux Fedora4
which has LyX1.3.6. On both systems I can use the DVI, all 3 pdf and
the postscript viewers, in order to view your file.
The defaults do not seem to work under MacOSX, in that they specify xpdf
rather than "open" to view files. This is probably fine if the user
is using XWindows subsystem to run LyX, but not if the user wants
to run LyX under the MacOS GUI. The only changes I
made to the defaults were to lyxrc to change xpdf to open.
(yes, I could have just specified those two lines in lyxrc.
Instead I elected to just copy lyxrc.default and change those
2 lines. It should have resulted in the same thing.)
Everything else was "as provided", as far as I can tell.
However, I will erase everything again and start over, using
just the defaults modulo the above changes, and see if it does,
in fact, work with the "\graphics default" entry in the test file.
Then will see if it works with my older files.
