I tested it (with scripts fetched directly from cvs, as they weren't in the snapshot's yet apparantly) and it worked almost great. A few remarks: - there's no export USER=root, wich will crash freevo if it isn't added (this might be fixed already). - xterm blanking isn't deactivated. I don't know if the script, or freevo in auto-X mode is supposed to handle this. - not related, but i use nvtv to setup my geforce, it doesn't work exactly when specified in OSD_SDL_EXEC_AFTER_STARTUP. It seems like there is yet an X mode switch or something similar after that is executed, and the settings are erased (maybe this has to do with the splash screen?). I solved this with a very dirty hack, i added sleep 10 nvtv -options in the startup script after it starts freevo.So imho this is a timing issue.
