Aha, so it's not necessarily something I'm doing. I just tried Mer (from the basysKom download center linked from the Wiki) and... didn't get very far. - The stable image shows the boot menu, I pick Boot MeeGo. It starts the rest of the boot process and then the tablet just switches off (about 2 seconds into the boot sequence). No chance to even look for an error message, it never gets as far as loading the installer or the LiveKDE session. - The testing isos (all of them, Development and Testing) all boot up and land on the emergency shell. USB isn't working at this point, so I have no keyboard control (can't go poke things to see what's wrong). Network isn't up, so I can't ssh to it either. Other isos.. like the one from open-slx are from almost a year ago... so I haven't tried them. The tablet works better on 3.8 kernel and higher. I know Linux in general works on the tablet. I've installed openSUSE 12.3 and Factory (13.1), as well as various Ubuntus and derivatives. The only thing I haven't gotten working on generic Linux installs is the BlueTooth keyboard.... and Plasma-Active.
