Drivers are one of the two biggest weaknesses of linux. High-end hardware tends to be poorly supported. You might try downloading drivers from nvidia's website.

You should be able to get at least a console no matter what your video card.

The Ubuntu alternate install disc should just use an ncurses interface so it should work just fine, same goes for the Debian installer since it defaults to ncurses.
