Anyway, I tried everything today & it all seemed to succeed, but after reboot I got this in X Terminal:Code:sudo apt-get install osso-software-version-rx??-unlocked
Not, as stated in the instructions:Code:~ $ uname -a Linux Nokia-N810-43-7 2.6.21-omap1 #3 PREEMPT Wed Sep 28 21:48:59 CEST 2011 armv6l unknown
I assume that this is OK based on some other comments in this thread, but please let me know if not.Code:Linux noname 2.6.21-omap1 #2 PREEMPT [build date] armv6l unknown

Thanks, maacruz. BTW, since I installed DT I have twice gotten the situation where it won't dim and the power button fails to work. I know that this is discussed in this thread -- I apologize that I haven't grasped all the details or the current status of the problem. This is not a big problem for me because I can just reboot using the advanced power monitor and the problem goes away. But please let me know if there is anything I can do to troubleshoot the problem. Also, if I figure out any pattern for what triggers the behavior I will of course post here.

Workaround is to restart mce from xterm (/etc/init.d/mce restart)

Re: the workaround, perhaps others have mentioned this but, for those who use Personal Menu, it's easy to create a "Command" item for that mce command you mentioned. That would be a handy way to fire off the workaround whenever needed.

I've duplicated the problem a few times in the past week. In those cases I've plugged my N810 in for the night and awakened to find it having the dimming problem. I may have set the alarm all those days. So it could be due to the alarm or it could be happening at some random point in the night. But it doesn't happen every time I plug in my N810 for the night or every time I use the alarm feature.
In these times, restarting mce has solved the screen dimming problem, but the power button still doesn't pull up the system ui menu. I have to reboot to get that back.
Are there any tests I can run now to get more information about the power button problem? Or any tests I should run the next time I duplicate the dimming problem?

So your not using Advanced System UI, Buurmas?
If so that is interesting, as so far i had figured it was a ASUI issue.

I don't think that I have ever experienced the non-dimming bug, but I have lost the power button a few times.
Try this instead next time to avoid rebooting.
sudo /etc/init.d/mce restart
Edit: And also what Mac said.

dm-crypt
Devicemapper (userspace binaries for dm-mod)
dmsetup or cryptsetup-luks (frontends for dm-* API)
