I had Radeon HD 5450 on my machine and it started to crash my system at random
moments after upgrade to 12-RELEASE. It was hardware acceleration that caused
this. When I disabled it with
Section "Extensions"
Option "GLX" "Disable"
EndSection
in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/disable-gpu.conf
it was working fine.
I replaced the video card with GeForce GT 710 and I'm using x11/nvidia-driver,
and it's working fine with hardware acceleration.
