The computer should reboot once the crash dump is written. But in your
case, I don't think there's a panic.

No, keep them.

In the dmesg you provided, I see that your card is properly initialized.

However, you're using the older X.Org stack, based on your installed
packages list:
  libdrm-2.4.17_1
  xf86-video-ati-6.14.6_1
  xorg-server-1.7.7_11,1

To install the newer stack, you must set the following variables in your
/etc/make.conf:
  WITH_NEW_XORG=yes
  WITH_GALLIUM=yes

Then, update your installed ports (eg. portmaster -a). After the update,
you have to rebuild xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse (maybe
xf86-video-vesa too), so that they match the installed X.Org server.

The full procedure is described on the wiki:
