This is a helpful hint for others and a suggestion to update documents.

I had read https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.0R/relnotes.html#hardware-graphics and https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics before I started.  I had 4 old laptops and 1 vmawre and I didn't remember which machine uses which CPU :)
  If the doc can mention to check kldstat output and go to corresponding section, that will make steps easier.

I converted to the port based driver for 4 psychical machines and 1 vmware machine (although vmware do not use neither of driver.)  All of them run 12.0-RELEASE.  All of them start X and work fine.  I will likely get to 13-CURRENT a lot later as I ran 13-CURRENT without X and in vmware most of times.
