XU 12.04-4 dual display not working nvidia 173 on nv34 card

[Galen Thurber]

hoping to get Precise Pangolin 12.04 LT Xubuntu running dual displays, on VGA (CRT) the other smart tv via HDMI.
as soon as xu goes to login screen I lose DVI to HDMI connection.
Other distros, sparky, mint, puppy all work fine with dual display

I run nvidia 173 on a nv34 video card
/0/100/b/0 display NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]

nvidia config does not show a second display

Galen Thurber, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. 12.04.4 reached EOL on August 2014. For more on this please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases .

Is this an issue in a supported release?

12.04.05 LTS is now EOL
that is odd news

Galen Thurber, 12.04.5 is not EOL. 12.04.4 is EOL as previously noted.
