Like I said before, dvi viewing isn't working for me under LyX.
Although I think the reason is that there is no standard dvi
viewer under OS X (like there is for Windows with Yap and Linux
with xdvik (although X11 is very integrated in linux)). So, via
fink, I have xdvi installed.....but this is an X11 program and I
have LyX installed under Qt which I didn't think that those two
systems could necessary communicate with one another (but I really
have no idea because I don't understand how they work, I just use
them).
xdvi works no problem for me. You should put the following in the
"Viewer" field for the DVI file format (LyX > Preferences > File
Formats):
open -a X11.app; export DISPLAY=:0.0; xdvi

Well, yes and no that works. It opens an X11 starter app I have
installed (which gives me a choice of which window manager I would
like to use), but when I select one and say 'start' nothing happens
and the dialog box stays in place.
