KeithB is correct. But i guess the thread mentioned by althekiller would be helpful anyway.
KeithB what you mention is what i have in mind. But it is always good with other views. Anyway this is how i am trying to get it done now.
I have customized /etc/rc4.d/. Since upstart is used in Ubuntu now i had to add some lines to /etc/event.d/rc-default in order to be able to choose runlevel in Grub. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...+bug/85014
I added my own if grep "xbmc" then telinit 4. And it works. So now i can choose default runlevel and runlevel 4 at Grub prompt.
Further i use rungetty in /etc/event.d/tty4. Rungetty will run 'startfluxbox' as the user xbmc. Then i have xbmc in autostart for fluxbox.
I have not verified that rungetty works as expected, will do that when i get home today.
This way i hope to be able to select XBMC in grub if its movie time, get everything to autologin and autostart. Or just let default ubuntu start if it is not movie time.
