I have the Ubuntu LTS installed on most of my servers and I've never had to worry about graphics or using Alt+Fx (those are the extra tty's on the desktop Ubuntu for me).

According to the Ubuntu documentation [1]: "Unlike the desktop version, Ubuntu Server does not include a graphical installation program. Instead the Server Edition uses a console menu-based process."

There is no "graphics" issue for me. Are you sure you were installing Ubuntu Server and not Ubuntu Desktop?

Yes I'm sure, during installation it's all ncurses/text, but when boot, it does use some high-res graphics mode showing the ubuntu logo. I like the high-res console, very spiffy, but it often causes troubles on the hardware I used.
