Thanks everyone for the reply.
I must apologise... it appears the cord was loose. It's funny that
when a monitor is not plugged in during Xorg's startup, it goes to
single desktop rather than starting a dual setup and allowing the
mouse to pass off one screen and into a blank area.
Now it appears in my panic I've done something to the config file
because now even after I restored what I thought was the working
backup I'm only getting one screen (but this time it's the other
screen).
Oh well :) ... I'll sort it out when I have the time.
