I'm using 1.6.2, on Ubuntu 9.04 and none of the margin/page controls
are greyed out, so I can already adjust paper type/size and margins
in article (beamer) as in any article. It was just that these then
needed set back to "default" when switching back t Beamer.
Strange isn't it.
Strange indeed. Did you by any chance hack the article-beamer.layout
file? Or might you have an old version of the layout files in your
~/.lyx folder that maybe are superseding the current versions?
This is fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04, on an HD that did have Windows on
it, but I installed Ubuntu to use the entire disc. Lyx was installed
with synaptic and I haven't hacked/edited/changed any aspect of Lyx, so
I have no idea why it isn't working as it should, especially as your
other post says that its greyed out on you copy of Ubuntu.
