i just set up the interface with X11 to view dvi files with xdvi.
the viewer is great because it's much quicker than preview and is

the reverse search sounds interesting, but i'm not sure how it's
supposed to work in lyx? i edited my latex -> converter so it
includes the source-specials tag (latex --src-special $$i), but
when i ctrl-click from within xdvik, nothing happens. i thought
that reverse searching meant i could click on the dvi file and the
cursor within lyx would go to the clicked location. am i
misunderstanding something? i got the impression from the wiki
that i can do reverse searching between lyx and xdvi. is this
possible and what is the exact syntax to configure? finally, if
it's possible to do reverse searching, can one do forward
searching with lyx too?
i'm running lyx 1.4.4 on mac.
You need to set up xdvi as well. See the wiki, here:

i have xdvi set up according to the wiki and everything exports from
lyx just fine. however, nothing happens when i CONTROL-click on any
word of the document. there are no changes in the cursor location in
lyx. CONTROL-click seems to be the right method on a mac because
before i set up the latex to dvi converter with the option latex --
src $$i, i would get an error message in xdvi saying No source
specials in this DVI file - couldn't do reverse search. As an aside,
the wiki has OPTION-click for reverse searching, which doesn't seem
to be right in my case.
what should happen if everything is working properly and is there
anything else to diagnose the reverse search problem?
thanks,
