Create a file .xinitrc (with the leading dot!) in your home directory und put 
this one line in the file and save it;

fluxbox

Now do  a startx, and Fluxbox is starting :-)

Just try it out! Add this to the Subsection "Display" (before the EndSection) 
and restart the X server:

      Subsection "Display"
          Depth       24
          Modes       "1280x1024"
          ViewPort    0 0
      EndSubsection

If 1280x1024 doesn't work with 24 bit color depth ("Depth"), try to reduce it 
to 16 bit.

If you intend to use only one fix resolution at all, you can delete the 
unneccessary resolutions.
