Ubuntu natty (development branch)
11.04
2.6.38-1-generic

Package: jockey (0.8-0ubuntu4) natty;

Crashed when looking for additional drivers for my Radeon graphics card. I was trying to use a switcheroo script before that (to turn off my Radeon and use an integrated Intel graphics card) to reduce power consumption.
