I created a slides for an R course in LyX, using exactly this combination. But I think, there are some points to be ironed out, e.g. that the converters for R need to be entered manually in LyX and that many frames I had to enter in ERT boxes, as I did not manage it with normal LyX frames. In essence, brilliant combination, but sometimes quite cryptic problems, which require ERT boxes in LyX - but I love this combination Rainer > Graham > > > > > > -- Rainer M.
