ok I installed it, now what?
check your available session on GDM then select fluxbox.
But how do you get multiple monitors working? That’s my big hang-up.
To be honest i didn’t use multiple monitor on fluxbox before, but you might try these instructions for using multiple monitor http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/X.Org/Dual_Monitors. If i found more information will send you as soon as possible.

Hanging period on that link. ;)
Yeah, I was REALLY hoping to avoid editing the xorg.conf. I look forward to what you can turn up that won’t require that. That would really add some points to FB for me!
