Hi, I just was involuntarily forced to test Ubuntu 8.10 (my power supply burned out and probably something else too, because we couldn't get the box back to life again with a new power supply), and having problems with XFig figures in LyX.
They come out 90 degs rotated and with the wrong bounding box (?) i.e., cut off. If I export to LaTeX manually and re-generate the pdftex_t and pdf files from XFig manually, things work fine. I though the problem was with Angus' heuristics in fig2pdftex.py and fig2pstex.py in lib/scripts. However, from the cammand line these work OK too. Could somebody please have a look into this? Version is the official one, 1.5.6. XFig is 3.2 patch level 5, - Martin
