The changes made yesterday have resolved the issue of X applications 
crashing and the light environment I use (CWM, Vimb) has proven to be 
very stable. I have been able to play HD videos at full-screen, browse 
YouTube, close the Xorg server and launch it again, etc. Normal 
operation, albeit the CPU usage seems very high when playing videos.

Thanks again Jean-Sébastien, it is a pleasure to finally use FreeBSD on 
my main laptop.

Best regards,
Juan
