Guess it is not just me having this issue...I was going to dual boot my Laptop but after testing with Microsoft Virtual Server & VMWare and seeing this error...think I will wait. If you want to reproduce it...debootstrap sid, change root to the sid directory and 'apt-get install xserver-xorg-core xorg' It will blowup on you terribly...and yes...it is hard to break out of it but you will finally hit CTRL-C at the proper time to kill it. The only think I have traced it to thus far is my Locale issues...but I can't see that causing this issue. -Stephen

It was installed but the hard drive died and so I took an old 2.5" drive I had which had linux on it with XFree86 (and a SIS screen configured) and I am trying to upgrade it to work on this new machine. I got rid of the old XFree86 code (I think I got rid of all of it) and then I asked it to install xorg. When configuring xserver-xorg it asks if the PCI address for the video card is right (it is), asks if I want to use a FrameBuffer device (I have tried both yes and no) and then is comes up with a panel which says:- >>>> Configuring xserver-org Empty value A null entry is not permitted for this value. >>>> This is repeated in what appears to be quite a tight look ad-infinitum and it is quite difficult to break out of (but I did eventually). There is nothing to say which value is null and I am at a loss to see how to progress from here. Anyone got any ideas?
