Hi thanks for all your information.

I have been having a lot of problems with X at the moment.  In the end 
the solution has been to install the proprietary driver which provides 
a method of generating a starting X config.

This I then modified to use the free driver and this has worked after a 
fashion, I now have two screens running each with its own copy of fluxbox.
