The answer to this is already well known
To you maybe, but I never saw that posted on the list or published on the x60 wiki or in other documentation. Please tell me more about it or point me to a link at least. If the problem is simple enought, I could tackle it.
While I appreciate that there are many users who would like all kinds
of things to work without them being able to fix it themselves, the reality is that things will work when someone fixes them.
That's right, I would love some issues to be fixed, and yet at the moment many of them are too complex for me. (The DSDT issues however are something I might soon be able to fix, along with the Fn keyboard issues, first by checking whether the Qx codes obtained with ec-access do match the values hardcoded in ec.asl - I suspect they won't)
However, I don't believe someone else can possibily fix issues that are not being properly documented, so I document precisely what is broken and how, to get a better idea of what to do, especially if there seem to be a common factor as in the DSDT case.
Sorry if this disturbs you. There is only one thing I can't understand - the tone of your answers. If my questions disturb you so much, what about not answering at all instead?
All these things are well-known problems. Correct patches would be great.
Known to you maybe. Not to me. I'm discovering them. If you do have a exhaustive list of all these "well known problems", could you please publish it somewhere?
Here's a fun new one from today: turning off the whole radio subsystem with the hardware switch does *NOT* seem affect WWAN, even if the LED is turned off. (or I want to know why I can still send AT commands, get responses, NMEA coordinates from the integrated GPS, etc. Maybe the rfkill pin is badly soldered on the mini PCIe connector, which I wanted to check before announcing that, but it's troubling)
I suppose you must know about this issue in great detail. Please enlighten me with your knowledge then.
