There's an interesting information in the latest Linux kernel released
today (2.6.32.2 and 2.6.31.9) which hopefully fixed the brightness
problem on Asus laptops
i will try to test this kernel by tomorrow

commit 4874849b30b2e3050499b158c1f223f0d6ad5e57
Author: Corentin Chary
Date:   Mon Dec 7 22:05:50 2009 +0100

    asus-laptop: change light sens default values.

    commit d951d4cc84e8b5ddb8e0ab81cf6a72cc73fdd668 upstream.

    The light sensor disable brightness key and
    /sys/class/backlight/ control. There was a lot of report
    from users who didn't understand why they couldn't change their
    brightness, including:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222171
    https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514747
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13671
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14432

    Now the light sensor is disabled, and if the user want to enable
    it, the level should be ok.

    The funny thing is that comments where ok, not code.
