I compiled xorg-server-X11R7.2-1.2.0 from source [1] this initially did not fix the problem as on it's own the xserver would not load any of the modules specified in my configuration or find fonts, (probably because the compiled xserver wasn't installed in the right location, using the correct --prefix when doing ./configure should fix this) then i used checkinstall and this worked in that I can now start gdm with xinerama (though i can not start X on it's own)
unfortunately i've tried so many things to get this working now that I can't be sure which has fixed it, but as far as i can see installing xserver from the latest source has fixed this bug. Either because it has been fixed by the freedesktop people or has un-done an ubuntu patch.
