For me LyX+maxima perfectly works and also computes 123*456 giving 56088.
Furthermore, it correctly computes integrals, derivatives, and
derivatives of integrals.
Only problem: it not able to solve equations.

Hi all,
I just curious that anyone has successfully tried the "Use Computer
Algebra System" under Edit->math? I've installed Octave and Lyx 1.5.1
and can't use this function. It's not essential and I don't know when
I will use it but just want to try. If anyone successes, please share
your story.
Computer algebra in LyX works, but it is very limited.
LyX+octave:
========
Don't seem to actually support _algebra_, but it'll do
calculator stuff like
123*456
or
(1+2)*(6-7)
LyX+maxima
========
Failed to do the simple 123*456, but
managed to integrate $\int x^{3}dx$ for me.
Both octave and maxima can do better, so someone interested
in this can probably improve the computer algebra support a lot.
