By improving the driver, do you mean getting it to scale values based
upon which machine it is running on to report a larger dynamic range
under 'normal' light conditions? This should be relatively straight
forward, provided we can obtain some data about which machines report
these lower values - do you have access to any other machines which you
could provide info for and I'll see what I can do about hacking on the
driver.

i am using a macbook pro 3.1 with intrepid beta and the nvidia driver. i finally managed to have the backlight keys F1 and F2 working but now i face another problem. when i change the backlight setting, it resets itself after some minutes to an average light level. then i use f2 to increase backlight again and some time later it goes down again.i have deactivated the shade setting in the gnome power management. the light is also turned down while moving the mouse or typing.
