When unsure, it's best to be prepared to ssh into your machine from another one
or set a timer that's calling `chvt 1` after certain time, so you don't
need a cold reboot.
Or, make sure that you have magic `SysRq` key enabled (`Alt+PrtSc`)
via sysctl (`kernel.sysrq=1`), then press following combination depending on keyboard
layout to make kernel regain control over keyboard to make VT switching work:
- QWERTY/AZERTY keyboard layout: `SysRq + R`
- Dvorak/Colemak keyboard layout: `SysRq + P`

work around this, but cannot give any guarantees. But you can make it work
by adding `Option "IgnoreABI" "1"` line to `ServerFlags` section in Xorg config.
* Most Xorg drivers should run as-is (once recompiled!), with some exceptions.
See `.gitlab-ci.yml` for the versions/branches built along with Xlibre.
