2. However, if you set non-default margins, then the geometry package gets

To me, this is a bug or deficiency in LyX: if the user selects US Letter
on the page layout selection, LyX should create LaTeX code that does what
the user almost certainly wants: have logical *and* physical pages set to US
Letter.  If there is a real need to allow the user to control both logical
page size and physical page size separately, then maybe a new checkbox could
be added to the paper size section of the Page Layout widget.

Yeah, I remember this problem - quite confusing.

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg58912.html

Short summary: The document size options in LaTeX (hence LyX) just  
specify the *logical* paper size for which the output should be  
rendered. LaTeX does not deal with *physical* paper sizes, which are  
in the responsibility of the backend driver. Hence, the phyiscal paper  
size has to be passed by some /special commands or magic options to  
pdflatex. (AFAIR pdflatex uses defaults that probably depend on your  
locale settings. I would assume that there is a config file somewhere  
under /etc.)


IIRC, I solved the issue with the help of the hyperref package. I  
guess it was the letterpaper option that let hyperref generate the  
necessary \special commands for pdflatex.

Hello
You may try the geometry package. Then you may define the page in all possible 
ways. Also, you may try xetex (xelatex) instead of pdftex, if you write 
multilingual or if you like to use all available ttf, otf fonts of your 
system.

Same here, but that may be because I have MiKTeX's default paper size 
set to letter.  When you do as Dave said (select letter size in LyX 
but keep default margins), LyX emits 
\documentclass[letterpaper,english]{article} (give or take the language) 
and, barring some other reason to call it, doesn't load geometry.  If 
you use nondefault margins, LyX adds a call to the geometry package for 
the margins and moves the paper size argument to the geometry call.  I 
vaguely recall a problem with pdflatex ignoring paper size in the 
document options but paying attention to the geometry settings.


Now whether LyX should force a call to geometry just to set the paper 
size is another question.  Does geometry conflict with any other LaTeX 
packages?
