What you're describing works for me in LyX 1.4.4 on Windows -- I put
\includegraphics{...} in ERT, View - PDF (ps2pdf) and the image is
there, provided that the image is EPS (which you said yours is).
The only caveat is that you will need to add \usepackage{graphicx} to
the preamble if you are not inserting any other images using Insert -
Graphics. LyX automatically adds the command when it inserts a graphic,
but it does not poke around your ERT to see if you are inserting one
manually. I assume you either have the command in the preamble or have
other images inserted normally (or maybe Powerdot loads graphicx?) --
otherwise I don't think you would get the dvipdfm output.

Re: ps2pdf, ERT, and includegraphics
Dear Paul,
thank you very much for your comments. It is quite weird: if I export
my file prova.lyx in latex (pdflatex or plain) and run latex prova.tex,
the dvi file shows the picture correctly, and of course the picture is
kept through the chain of dvips and ps2pdf; if I, however, try to
preview the document in LyX or export it directly to pdf (ps2pdf), the
image does not appear. Looking at the output in the shell window I see
the message:
dvips: Could not find figure file /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps;
continuing
which is puzzling given that the file is definitely there:
ls /home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
/home/giuseppe/tmp//beckmann2005.eps
I noticed the use of the double slash in front of the eps file name, but
that should not be a problem, right?
The document I am testing this on is an article with the command
\usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, and a single ERT box containing
the command:
\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{beckmann2005}
where the image beckmann2005.eps is contained in the local directory.
I am attaching in the following my prova.lyx file, which may contain
useful information. Thank you very much for your help, I truly
appreciate it but please do not feel obliged to reply if this takes up
too much of your time.
best regards
giuseppe

Oops -- answered out-of-band, forgot to check the list first to see if
the message was posted here.
Short synopsis (for archival purposes): The test doc works fine for me
using LyX 1.4.4 on Win XP Home. I don't see the double slash causing
problems (it didn't for me). Best guess (and I freely admit it's
shooting from the hip) is a permissions problem. Since running the
latex - dvips - ps2pdf sequence manually worked, and ls found the image
file, this would seem to imply that LyX is running dvips under a
different account than the user's account (and, particularly, one that's
not allowed to read the EPS file).
