I loaded 10.2 yesterday and I am using lyx right now. I used the
developer tools to compile xforms on my box from source ("fink
install xforms") and used apt-get to install the rest of the needed
programs via the (older) binary distribution. I also used the patch
for Xwindows for 10.2. Everything seems OK.
