LyX ⇒ unnumbered chapter title won't appear in headings

[cigs]

hi guys!

i have the following puzzle to solve:

in the preamble i put:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhead[EL,OR]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[ER]{\leftmark}
\fancyhead[OL]{\rightmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\thechapter\ \ #1}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{ \thesection\ \ #1}}

for my individual headings. it works fine except for those chapters that are unnumbered (defined as chapter*). in this case lyx uses the last numbered chapter instead.

does anyone have an idea how to solve this probelm?

you would help me a lot!!!!!!!

Hi cigs,

you could call \markboth manually, use \markboth{title}{title} directly after \chapter*{title}.
