Ubuntu wont fail to install just because it cant get the video working.
The Live CD may not boot to the GUI of course, and in that case you can
use the alternate CD which has a text based installer.

Every Ubuntu install has a recovery mode - which is selectable from the
boot up grub menu. In this mode it boots to a console - no GUI - and
from there the necessary logs (the xorg for example) can be viewed, and
changes made using text based tools.
