Ok, I've HDMI connected the Samsung TV directly to computer 2 and saved
the EDID. I've change xorg.conf to
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
    Option         "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/home/pjr/Samsung-TV-DFP-0-edid.bin"

I've rebooted computer 2 with this setup and all is ok.

I then connected computer 1 to SR5002 HDMI3 and computer 2 to HDMI2 and
booted computer 1, all works as before. On booting computer 2 and
switching the SR5002 to HDMI2 the screen displays "No signal" after
reelling through the stnd ubuntu boot log.  If I vnc into computer 2
from another machine the normal ubuntu window screen is displayed.  I
found that if I didn't include the xorg.conf line:
    Option         "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP"
then the X server didn't start.

So not much further forward.
