[Chromakode <c@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Same here on my UL30Vt. I reverted to my previous hack. It's kind of
choppy, but at least it works:

---
# in /etc/asus_brn_down.sh
brightness=$((0x`setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`-16));
if [ $brightness -lt 0 ] ; then
       brightness=1;
fi
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`printf '%x' $brightness`;
---

---
# in /etc/asus_brn_up.sh
brightness=$((0x`setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B`+16));
if [ $brightness -gt $((0xff)) ] ; then
       brightness=$((0xff));
fi
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=`printf '%x' $brightness`;
---

Regards,
