LyX makes use of ImageMagick, a.o. for showing previews of images in the LyX windows. In openSUSE some functionality of ImageMagick is disabled for security reasons. This is true for all postscripts files. Showing an eps image in LyX, therefore, does not work out of the box. If you want to enable some disabled functionality, you can edit the settings in /etc/ImageMagick-7, if you know what you are doing. An alternative is to remove the package with the default SUSE setting and install the upstream version: ImageMagick-config-7-SUSE must be replaced by ImageMagick-config-7-upstream.
