Bennet,
in the forthcoming 1.4.4 the autoview feature can be overridden
through
lyxrc.dist, where an appropriate viewer can be defined. So, maybe the
problem of a dvi viewer on Mac has a solution.
But the question is what to set it to. Some people like Mac native
apps (for which "open" would seem to be the best solution), whereas
others like xdvi in X11 (requiring something else). As far as I know,
there's no way of determining this preference automatically unless we
assume the user will have a Mac native app.
