You may want to try Skim as a pdf reader (http://skim-app.sourceforge.net
). I have used it for quite a while and am very pleased. It
will allow auto reloading as well.
To hook it in, go to LyX->Preferences->File Formats and then in the
drop-down box choose PDF and then in the "Viewer" box enter:
open -a Skim.app $$i
Thanks !!! The PDF-preview feature works with the Mac-PDF-Previewer
as described in my latest posting, but the dvi-preview does not seem
to be very comfortable. I was a bit puzzled since on my Windows
machine the dvi's are opened by yap shipped with MikTeX, but on the
iMac the dvi's have the extension .pdf, but are opened by the
TeXShop-Previewer.

Mac's Preview.app likes to take over for DVI and EPS. If you install
a dvi previewer like xdvi you can preview DVI directly without Preview
trying to take over.
In that case, tell LyX to open the dvi files with xdvi following
analogous instructions as above, but put "xdvi" in the "Viewer" box.
The easiest way to get xdvi may be through Fink if you are on a mac.
Or build and install from source...
