Hi,

I've got positive feedbacks from 5 users : ul30a (Intel display card), 
Ubuntu Karmic Koala (32 and 64 bits).

To find what's wrong, you may :
- check that xbacklight is installed : command "whereis xbacklight" 
should find the executable (probably in "/usr/bin")
- check that it works : try "xbacklight -set XX" where XX is the 
backlight level (from 1 to 100)
- check that gnome-power-manager (if you are using Gnome) does not 
control backlight : run "gconf-editor", check option under 
"apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight", "enable" should be unchecked.

If running xbacklight manually works, perhaps there is something wrong 
with the acpi scripts.

/etc/acpi/asus-brn-up.sh should read :
#!/bin/sh
xbacklight -inc 10

/etc/acpi/asus-brn-down.sh should read :
#!/bin/sh
xbacklight -dec 10


Hope that will help. Feel free to contact me for more information, but 
please provide your hardware / Linux versions.

Cheers,

    Philippe
