Yes, it's good for me too.
I can manage the actual brightness in a Conky, just what I want in fact !
Thanks  ;-)

Title:
  eeepc-wmi : "actual_brightness" file don't show real brightness

Status in Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (Intel® EMGD):
  New

Bug description:
  On my Eeepc Asus 1101HA, with the option "acpi_backlight=vendor" in
  Grub, the file "/sys/class/backlight/eeepc-wmi/actual_brightness"
  always show the value "2", even by changing the brightness with the
  keys "Fn + F5/F6" (which actually really change the brightness).

  Not very important in fact, but I need to know the real value of
  brightness to put it in a Conky ...
