Binary package hint: xorg

What I was doing:

I was using firefox with several tabs open (15-20). I just opened up maps.google.com and the X-server crashed.

After the screen flickering several times as X (gdm) tried to restart, it left in a low-res mode offering to reconfigure X. Choosing to reconfigure the card was unsuccessful since it seemed that the hardware was left in an inconsistent state.

Attached Xorg.log show error messages related to the crash.
