I can't find this 'fleqn' option in "Document" window. Do you mean
I've to add it to .lyxrc file? Or is it available only in newer
version? I'm still using 1.0.4.

Ok, I understand your point that inline math should use smaller
font. That's ok. But I'm still a bit annoyed because these "situations"
are very frequent in my notes/papers. Is it possible to define a
keyboard cut-short or an icon to replace typing "\displaystyle ....".
You know, it becomes very tiresome to type all these "\displaystyle ...."
for almost every line.
By the way, once this "\displaystyle ...." is typed in math mode, it
becomes a kind of "hidden information", that means we can't see what else
is defined in such math editor mode without viewing dvi or postscript to
realise it. See what I mean? It would be nice if we could see these
"hidden infos" somewhere. My first idea is to put them in the status bar
together with "Math editor mode" when we click in the "mathbox".

Sorry, forget about it. The problem is only related to screen.
Actually, I view the output on the screen (cause I don't put a printer)
and at low zoom scale, this problem appears. But at higher zoom, it
isn't there.

Not being a Latex/Lyx expert, I don't see what you mean. I've tried
those AMS related document class: nothing work. I've also tried to put
\usepackage{amsmath} in latex preamble: doesn't work either. Hope this
will be supported in newer version of lyx.
