[...] When configuring
xserver-xorg it asks if the PCI address for the video card is right

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

The console / curses display pop-up says "Null value not permitted"
