According to this : http://sophie.zarb.org/rpmfind?mversion=community&mversion=cooker&mversion=current&search=lyx&st=rpmname&submit=Soumettre&qcount=20 Lyx 1.5.3 is in the repository main/testing current of Mandriva. I guess you have to unable the correct repository and update urpmi and then urpmi install lyx If you want to be on the safe side, wait the release of the 2008 Mandriva, then wait 2 months for bugs to be ironed off and then upgrade and stick with the ugly old LyX.
