Personally, posters are the last thing I'd use LyX for. I'd use Inkscape or Gimp. The prime benefit of LyX and LaTeX is consistency throughout the document -- just what you don't need in a poster. I personally think that even if you succeed in making a poster with LyX, you'll be fighting LyX all the way. I like LyX. For the jobs it's intended to do. I like drills too, but I wouldn't use a drill to cut a PVC pipe -- I'd use a PVC pipe cutter. To me, making a poster in LyX is like cutting a PVC pipe with a drill.
