Additional information:

After running the commands listed above (xrandr -o right, glxgears,
xrandr -o normal), the screen briefly flashes a garbled video output
that looks almost like a checkerboard of smaller sections with
alternating blue and red lines.  An image of a cursor is also
visible...I'd attach a photo, but I have no camera here.

The xserver then restarts with a gdm login screen, this time on vt9
instead of vt7.

I can then switch to a virtual terminal, but it is unusable--the far
right side of the screen has alternating blue and red lines and the
image of a cursor.  There is no login prompt.

I didn't notice the caps lock led flashing...

I am unable to reproduce this now. I did a clean install, and got the
xserver to crash.  I then installed updates (really only the kernel with
a base install), and now it won't crash...  I've spent the last 30
minutes restarting/rebooting, rotating, running glxgears, etc, and the
xserver hasn't crashed again.  (I did find out that glxgears has some
interesting artifacts when another window has focus--see attached
screenshot).  I also haven't seen the problem with the vt display being
corrupted upon suspend/resume...

I'll continue to play with it, and if I see the crash again I'll post
here.
