Sorry I should go into a bit more I was just quickly spouting it out
last night.

When I type startx I know have X starting and and Gnome loaded with dual
screen works perfectly ok for a low res.

Gfx cards are 
1. Nvidia Geforce 2 GTS  <-- it isn't that but it has always worked for
that driver without a prob.
2. Ati Rage II

I would get the config file and post it here but haven't got the modem
setup yet.

I have done this already but these setting only seem to work for the
basic X Server
I want it to load Gnome into that.

Will copying the .new file to /etc/X11 work when I run startx ?
