Hello: It appears that Lyx is NOT calling the graphicx (and possibly other) packages with the correct options.
This creates an "option clash" when another package tries to load the graphicx package with the correct option. I found this situation when attempting to use pdfslide within lyx. Lyx seems to always add "usepackage{graphicx}" to all documents, which is alright. But if one declares the document to be of class "pdftex", it seems that Lyx should invoke "usepackage[pdftex]{gaphicx}" (option pdftex). Lyx invokes plain graphicx without the option. Unfortunately, pdfslide does invoke usepackage[pdftex]{gaphicx}, which prompts pdflatex to stop with the message: "The package graphicx has already been loaded with options:[] There has now been an attempt to load it with options [pdftex] Adding the global options: ,pdftex to your \documentclass declaration may fix this." Unfortunately Lyx always use \usepackage{graphicx} even if one does what latex suggests. Exporting the Lyx file to latex and commenting out the "\usepackage{graphicx}" automatically generated by Lyx solves the problem, but it is too inconvenient. Is there a way of telling Lyx to load graphicx with the correct option, or NOT to load it at all? Virgil __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
