It is not possible to switch to text console with control-alt-F1, or F2
(so on). I am not sure if it still responds to the network.

I don't use this computer as any server so I didn't try it. As

ping it.

If you mean the video driver, I am actually using the libgl1-mesa-dri.
But hoping it would stop by not using it I removed it, though the
problem persisted.
