Hi
I also had problems using Lyx with Beamer. Eventually I went for a mix of
ERT and Lyx. Some things are just done much more easily in ERT.
I have put a sample file on the wiki under the beamer window. If that works
for you, you may care to use it as a template. Looking at Beamers
documentation in association with this will provide the necessary pointers.
If you use it and have problems you may want to ventilate that on this list.

Subject: Beamer troubles
I really like beamer but ....
Even when I run the supplied example: The Complexity of Finding Paths in
Tournaments, I get the following error messages:
The new counter already exists (this repeated 5 times)
step: Counter does not exist: lyxframend{}\subsection
(repeated 10 times).
Sumilarly with my own presentations. They work fine, but something minor
is obviously going wrong with the counters which close frames when you
start sections or subsections.
I had these problems before but did not complain because I was using an
older version of LaTeX (from SuSE 9.1).
But now I have SuSE 9.3 which comes with LyX 1.3.5 and LaTeX 3, and the
problems persist.
The SuSE distro, however did not install the beamer.layout file anywhere.
So I put this in myself (from CTAN). Beamer now works from LyX (unlike on
the earlier SuSEs where I had to install a lot of other dependent sty
files and reconfigure LyX before it would run).
I expect that the beamer.layout file is the problem. Does anyone know
where to get the kosher version of this file for beamer?
