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.
