BTW, adding a new format, new converter, new viewer does not require

I'm interested to know how you did this. If it is documented perhaps you
can point me to the instructions. I just noticed that Adobe released
Reader ver. 7.0 for Linux and Solaris.

Maybe this is old news but I just noticed it. I dual boot and was
going to see how this worked out with FC4 as a LyX pdf viewer.
All the following takes place in Edit->Preferences:
1. Click File formats->New. Set the Format: field to pdf4 (or pdf5 if
you already have a pdf4, etc.). Make the GUI name anything that you want
(that isn't already used, of course); this is how it will be listed in the
View and File->Export menus. If you're going to use it often enough, you
can fill in a keyboard shortcut (again, one not currently in use) in
Shortcut:, but this is strictly optional. Set the Extension: field to
pdf. Fill in the Viewer: field with the name of the viewer executable.
Click Modify and Save.
In my case I wanted a new .ps viewer. I changed the format to ps2.
I set the extension field to ps the GUI name to Gscript and the viewer
executable to flps. It worked just like you said it would. Thank you.
HTH,
