Two possibilities:
1/ copy lib/layouts/article.layout to ~/.lyx/layouts/acm.layout, edit
the first lines to read:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{article (ACM)}
run Option->Reconfigure so that lyx finds the new class, and prey that
acm format is not too different from article. If it works, you'll have
a working acm for lyx, but the fonts (and other things) on screen will
probably not match the paper output. If this does not work you'll have
to:
2/ find someone who knows both LyX and LaTeX, and make him create this
layout and contribute it to LyX. We could certainly use such a layout.
This is of course not the easiest solution ;)
More seriously, if you managed to learn enough of LaTeX to be _almost_
able to do it, I can offer to help you with problems you might
encounter. But I certainly do not have the time (and motivation) for
fully writing this stuff.
