I also tried this on Win98, but with Enrico's Cygwin 1.4.1 release,
lyx-1.4.1-cygwin.tar.gz file at ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.1
thinking that the X11 interface might overcome the drawing problem.
It failed like yours by generating a 4cm. x 12cm. rectangle; the splash
screen showed "Welcome to LyX" and not much else. Also saw bddraw = 0
I realized that I had been using the startxserver bat rather than
the startxwin bat and this made a big difference. Also the environment,
If, after installing cygnus, you get the message:
Out of environment space
add the line
shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p
to your c:\config.sys
LyX 1.4.1 now works on Win98 but the viewers are not functional,
they seem to connect to a helper app but can't draw a screen.

Stephen
