That sounds like a good idea, Christopher.

Regarding Problem #1, I do remember that this was working just fine in 12.10. Once I stepped up to 13.04, this functionality was lost. But along the way I might have stepped up the BIOS version, too. I think I remember that I bought the ASUS G75VW with the 210 BIOS revision, and stepped up to 221 right away. I can't tell you whether that feature got "lost" due to the BIOS or due to any Ubuntu kernel. 
I guess the fact that it still works on Saucy when using the 210 BIOS is reassuring that it might not be a kernel issue...

Title:
  Regression - Several ACPI calls no longer work on ASUS G75VW

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Folks,

  I am currently on kernel version 3.11.0-2-generic, and the following
  (what I assume are) ACPI calls no longer work via Fn keys:

  Fn+F2 = Toggle wifi on/off (works manually from the Network Indicator)
  Fn+F5/F6 = Adjust screen brightness (doesn't work at all, not even from the System Settings)
  Fn+F9 = Toggle mousepad on/off (works manually from the System Settings)

  Up until  3.11.0-1-generic, my Fn+F3/F4 = Adjust keyboard backlight
  didn't work, either. This might be fixed in  3.11.0-2-generic, but I
  need to verify this.

  My /etc/default/grub entry for "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT reads
  "quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor
  resume=/swapfile.swap" -- not sure if that makes a difference towards
  the ACPI calls...
