no, the compat2 option belongs to geometry to the default setting of the paper layout, which was far different in the old version 2.3
I don't understand what you mean?
What I mean is that the arguments that LyX passes to the geometry package, assumes the old version of geometry. This means that when you're using tetex 2.+, i.e. a newer version of geometry, the wrong kind of arguments are passed to geometry. But if you also give 'compat2', it works since the old syntax is now used.
the syntax is the same. The default page settings changed.
