One more thing: Connecting an external display I could turn it on via xrandr --auto successfully. However, it was not possible to turn the internal display off (xrandr --output LVDS1 --off) and switching to the console with the external display connected I managed to freeze the machine. Turning the external display off worked somehow (the display then showed vertical stripes) but I could switch to console.
