Do you have an xorg.conf? Which is to say, an /etc/X11/xorg.conf - if so rename it to something else, xorg.temp or just anything, and try starting X again. My system (for example) doesn't need an xorg.conf and if I've got one X won't start. Just by way of info I'm on Slackware 64 - current.

If X won't start once you're renamed xorg.conf, reply with the error message and rename your xorg.conf back to, well, xorg.conf - at which point you should be back to having some one or another of your monitors working again.
