I'm pretty sure there are bad stuff in the DSDT or other ACPI tables. Toshiba is used to have specific stuff here. I always wonder how Windows drivers can work on so many different devices with so many buggy ACPI tables... I never tried to decompile or understand those tables though.
Things that may works after DSDT tweaks :
* backlight
* sound
* maybe SDIO/SDcard
* re-docking
* buttons
Things that probably rely on better drivers :
* touchpad in native mode (not PS2 emulation) (pretty sure)
* general SD and/or GPIO stuff
* internal wifi/bluetooth
There may also be bad bugs in the controlers for both parts of the device (BIOS upgrade or not upgradable).
