One alternative option is to use a highly customizable latex class and tailor it to your requirements. You may want to take a look at the Memoir class, which comes with excellent documentation and is highly customizable. The memoir manual has step-by-step instructions that show you how to customize memoir for a thesis. Look in your latex installation for a file called memman.pdf (or, on linux, just type 'texdoc memoir' in a terminal). Look at chapter 21 (An example thesis design) for detailed instructions. If you are completely new to latex, you may have to read some of the introductory chapters as well. On the plus side, there is no need to write a custom lyx module or custom lyx layout.
