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.

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?

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.
