Problems after upgrade 12.1 -> 12.2

I've just run freebsd-update -r 12.2-RELEASE upgrade on one of my disks and a number of things don't seem right... The first thing I noticed was that resolution did not change whilst booting up, it stayed at 640x480...
After reading something about this I decided to pkg add -y drm-kmod but this made no difference, although I noticed that /boot/modules/i915kms.ko was dated 22 Aug 2019 and all the rest of the files in that directory were date Oct 2019.

Another thing I notice that logging out of LXDE the screen went grey and never returned to a login prompt.

Also I was unable to enter anything into Chromium. It would just close. It started OK and I could select all the open tabs but was unable to do any searches. After updating Chrome, it no longer came up - libopenh264.so.5 not found
Anyone else experienced these problems?
 
Try pkg upgrade -f. This will do a lot more than necessary, but it will fix issues with
  • packages containing kernel modules (like drm-kmod), they only match one specific version of the FreeBSD kernel
  • packages built on 12.2 using symbols/symbol versions that weren't available in 12.1 yet (I think this shouldn't happen with minor releases, but it did)

Click to expand...
The correct sequence of commands would be
Bash: 
freebsd-update -r 12.2-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update install
nextboot -k GENERIC # only of you run a custom kernel. if you use GENERIC, ommit this line!
shutdown -r now
freebsd-update install
shutdown -r now # may be neccessary to update a third time,
freebsd-update install # does not hurt if you do it tho

did you miss a step?
