2. Looks like its not loading the openbox desktop, but the xbmcbuntu desktop (lxde). Openbox is a blank screen. Can you select openbox as the session to use from the login screen? You can use lxde if you want, theres a recent post in this thread with info on how to auto start xbmc with lxde.
3. Installing the driver and rebooting (or reloading the xpad module) is all that is needed. Simple way to tell if its working is by the lights on the Xbox controller - they flash with the in kernel driver but work properly with the steamos driver. You can reinstall the driver with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure steamos-xpad' . I have never been able to get xboxdrv to work with xbmc so I don't know if its any better. Xpad works fine in the majority of the handful of games + emulators I have tried on linux, with metro last light one game thats not working properly and I have read it works better with xboxdrv, but that game runs really bad on Linux so I haven't looked into it. I do all my gaming in windows so I only really ever use the 360 pad to reboot from Linux to windows.
To get xpad working with xbmc you probably need to add the controller device name to the xbmc xbix360 keymap file (copy it from /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/ to ~/.xbmc/user data/keymaps/ and then modify it) see here for some info http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=135871
Question: have you installed both the addon and my repo? If so, did they both install OK?
