Status in “xserver-xorg-driver-nv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
On a fresh install of 10.10 desktop 64-bit RC on my macbookpro 5,4, the backlight controls worked perfectly, even without pommed. However, it stopped working after switching over to nvidia-current. I loaded the mbp_nvidia_bl driver in debug mode, and verified that it is trying to change the backlight, even though it doesn't seem to work:

dmesg output (timestamps removed):

mbp_nvidia_bl: setting brightness to 15
mbp_nvidia_bl: setting brightness to 14
mbp_nvidia_bl: setting brightness to 13
mbp_nvidia_bl: setting brightness to 12
mbp_nvidia_bl: setting brightness to 11


Installing pommed did not help.
