I am not understanding at all.  If you have the graphics ability, why in the 
world are you using the alternate install which does not support graphics???  
The reason for the alternate install is to put Ubuntu on a machine which has 
limited or obsolete graphics abilities such as older boxes and/or server 
boxes.  What you are needing is the stuff which can read your more advanced 
graphics and implement it, missing from the alternate install as it really is 
most useful to CLI user.
