It is noteworthy that my PC hardware (and the built in video) is older than FreeBSD 12.

But really, if a KMS module is not good enough for my videocard or its
driver, should it not warn somewhere in the logs or refuse to start,
instead of crashing with signal 6 at random moments?

Maybe it's the result of the policy that FreeBSD has no "official"
GUI/DE which would be more thoroughly tested as a whole. The current
approach looks like "if it compiles it is probably OK."
