Use the executor instead of launcher and follow the instructions from that on.
The only suggestion I have is to check for updates on the executor.
If fluxbox does not close after ff, you are doing it wrong.
It happened once that I lost the mouse, but after reboot it has worked again.
The only problem I have is an overscan issue that I hope can be fixed by another nvidia driver version.
I have the same overscan issue.. Here is what i did to fix it...
I have nvidia Intigrated GF9300 on my Zotac Mobo.
Nvidia Drivers 195.36.24
Since drivers 190.x , nvidia-settings includes an "OVERSCAN COMPENSATION" slider. i slide mine to about 97 and everything works fine..
1.) Open nvidia-settings using a SHELL terminal inside FLUXBOX.
2.) Go to DFP-1 near the button. You will see there a Slider for OVerScan Compensation. Slide it until you can see your entire screen.
3.) The settings only stick for the current X session. If you quit firefox and Fluxbox, the settings will still remain since your X session didn't die. However If you completely shutdown X by restarting XBMC, or the entire machine, the overscan will return to default. Thankfully Nvidia-Settings creates a config file after you apply your settings and saves it at ~/.nvidia-settings-rc
~/.nvidia-settings-rc
Code:
#
# /home/..../.nvidia-settings-rc
#
# Configuration file for nvidia-settings - the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility
# Generated on Wed Dec 22 02:11:56 2010

# ConfigProperties:
............
0/BlueGamma=1.000000
0/DigitalVibrance[DFP-1]=0
0/ImageSharpening[DFP-1]=127
0/GPUScaling[DFP-1]=65537
[b]0/OverscanCompensation[DFP-1]=97[/b]
0/XVideoTextureBrightness=0
0/XVideoTextureContrast=0
0/XVideoTextureHue=0
0/XVideoTextureSaturation=0
...........
We can ask nvidia-settings to load that config file for us right after launching FLUXBOX by updating the Firefox Launcher Script to the following:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
fluxbox &
[b]nvidia-settings -l[/b]
firefox
killall -9 fluxbox
-l, --load-config-only
Load the configuration file, send the values specified therein to the X
server, and exit.
TIPS:
** hold ALT + MOUSE_CLICK to drag windows around if your overscan is very severe ..
** right click on FluxBox desktop to open Menu and then a SHELL
If you really want to get creative.. The alternate fix for your overscan is to specify your own modlines in xorg..
You'll have to retrive your monitors EDID bin file using nvidia-settings and then read the modline frequencies using MonInfo

Follow this thread (good info here, but too old, for older drivers. I'd just stick with the slider in the new Nvidia Drivers
