Okay, I have prepared some files to illustrate the problem, so other have a chance to verify.
.EPS output file of the circuit drawing program I use: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy.eps (64k) bbget script from http://silas.psfc.mit.edu/elec_fig/ : http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/bbget Output from bbget, using esp-gs v7.70.x: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_espgs770.eps (64k) (works!) Output from bbget, using gs v8.62: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_gs862.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) Output from gsview v4.7, using option PS to EPS, also checkmarked "Automatically calculate Baounding Box". BTW, using gsview v4.9 gives the same result. http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) Output from ps2eps v1.64 utility, parameters as suggested by http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps.html: http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) Just import those example eps files dummy_bbget_espgs770.eps (64k) (works!) dummy_bbget_gs862.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work) to LyX always using the "Clip to bounding box" and "Read from file" options in the dialog, and have a look at the output. You will see the only file giving correct clipping is the one with the bounding box values generated by bbget and an old, discontinued ESP ghostscript version. Now, everybody can say "that is not a problem of LyX", but on the other hand, the LyX image import dialogue is left pretty useless if there is only some certain script/program combination being able to generate bounding boxes that LyX is able to deal with?
