type "startx" on at the command prompt. It'll start X, and run xbmc as part of that.

But one thing from the howto can possibly be made simpler...
Actually you can get the latest drivers more easily from the x-updates PPA. Follow the instructions there, then do an apt-get update; then if the standard Jaunty nvidia drivers are already installed, an apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade them to the latest available (at time of writing, 185.18.14, the same as in the manual install in the howto). If it's not already installed, apt-get install nvidia-glx-180.

Has anyone else got it working like this?
I plan on re loading xbmc again with this method and just wanted to know if thats what everyone else had as i have been unable to get surround sound working working.
