If you have installed applications like MacDviX or MacGhostView, LyX will use them to preview DVI and Postscript. If you prefer, you can specify GUI viewer applications with "open -a app-name" or "open -a 'Application Name'" in LyX -> Preferences -> File formats -> filetype -> Viewer. If you're running X11, you can specify viewers like xdvi or gv. To restore the previewer for a filetype to the default system viewer, set it to "open". -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
