Are you saying it never makes it through the boot process, or it boots in recovery mode but you can't get the GUI to run, or it boots up OK but then it fails when you try to log in? Give us a little more on what you're seeing, and maybe it's fixable.
During the boot process, your ATI video card isn't being properly recognized. When you are at the ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ prompt, type:
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
after entering your password, the X-Server reconfiguration program will start. You can then see if your video card is in the selection list, and set you resolution settings.
Before you begin, I would suggest reviewing dibl's How to get started with no GUI for the details on what you need to do.

i found a solution to install with alternate cd . . in turkish . . i will try to translate
HP Compaq 6715s ATI X12xx series
Alternate CD doesn't work like Live CD . . it works with text installer (like debian-installer)
after installation x won't work
go the other console
in console
#sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
put # before this line (cd source line)
and run this commands
#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get upgrade
#sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
#depmod -a
#aticonfig --initial
#aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
