Just my 2c. If I use pdftex some of my pstricks specials get messed up.
If I create a ps file from the dvi file and then use ps2pdf things work
better. For a Lyx user, if Lyx will
produce an acceptable ps file with whatever kind of graphics you have
then perhaps ps2pdf could then create the right kind of pdf file also.
Of course, If I knew what I was doing, I would be rich :-)
