I followed Nicolas VILA suggestion in comment #7 and #8. It helped get
this old mythtv frontend running with a GeForce FX 5500 AGP card. I
would further suggest saving some notes on what changed so it is a bit
easier to undo later.

1) First you can try the terminal command:
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1600x1200
2) Under settings displays I could not set all the resolutions if the
mirror function was marked. If you unmarked this function may be you can
set your desired resolution.

After upgrading to 12.04 I am now stuck with low (1024x768) resolution
on a 1600x1200 monitor. Would love to fix this by installing nvidia-96,
but have the problem identified in this bug. For some reason I can't
coax xrandr or xorg.conf to do the right thing otherwise.

I need to use the Nvidia 173 driver,I had it working and then upgraded
to 12.04 .Waiting for a fix, don't feel like downgrading is a good
idea,I can only run the 2d unity and things are slow,a fix would be
nice.

To manage
I have the same problem, I installed Ubuntu 12.04 and display hanged.
Un-installed the NVIDIA driver and it works fine.
Faced a similar problem after installing Ubuntu 11.10, but could resolve it by
installing NVIDIA 173 version.
But the installation for the same fails with Ubuntu 12.04. Hope
