I don't think it matters on mac... The DISPLAY variable is used by X-Server only, LyX on mac isn't a X-Windows application. On Linux the check for DISPLAY is a 98% solution. Every X-Application parses the command line options and understands the -display xserver:display.screen option. One should check that too if the guessing by display name is the way to go. This option overrides the environment variable value. On RHEL I have DISPLAY=:0.0 (this is the standard AFAIK). Stephan
