This probably has been asked before, sorry, but does it matter what order one installs these .debs?

Well, you can skip the large technical explanation of DT kernel features over the stock kernel if you wish, but follow the installation instructions to the letter

I've just installed DT for the first time (well my n810 is functional again now), and I am speechless.
I knew it should be more responsive, but never guessed it would work so good.

Good work!

ANNOUNCE:
New testing kernel available.

The last testing kernel caused reboots probably because it had some experimental debugging code to try to catch the bad driver which crashed kthread sometimes, and such code probably ended causing more problems when the bug triggered.
The openwrt kernel patches have inspired me to make some minor changes related to preemption and irq locking in the touchscreen and retu drivers, which are among the suspicious of causing the kthread crash. Those changes are completely safe, and in the worst case, won't do anything, but in the best case the kthread crash may be fixed.

So, this new testing kernel has the patch to fix the shutdown issue, and the newly patched drivers.
I'm running it right now and it is completely safe, the worst that can happen is that kthread crashes once about a week to some months. But if you guys expect me to do all the testing, it'll be months again before I can take a decision. If the new patches have a positive impact, it can take even longer, just think, if one of those drivers caused the crash and now it is fixed, but it isn't the only one driver causing the crash.. it will take much longer to crash.
A symptom of the kthread crash is that the hardware keys stop working.

PLEASE INSTALL THIS KERNEL AND REPORT UPTIME AND CRASHES (IF ANY)

I forgot to update the publication date. Fixed.
The zImage is new, go ahead and download it. Flash it from PC using flasher or from the tablet with fiasco-flasher (see first post instructions)

Okay. After reading your first post here 3 times, I'm not seeing anything about using flasher for PC or fiasco-flasher to install your zimage thingy.

Care to point me at the post on this?

If you read carefully again near the end of the first post, you'll see
"fiasco-flasher -f -k zImage"
About flasher-3.0 you are supposed to already know how to use it , anyway, it follows the same pattern
"flasher-3.0 -f -R -k zImage"
as root in your linux PC console/xterm
