At first i thought suspend/resume had broken as when it resumed, the
brightness was very low. There's a faint picture which i only noticed in
low light.

also suspect this is related/the cause:

as it occurred just after i did that nvidia upgrade.

All packages up to date, 10.04

Bug description:
Hello,

For some days, my brightness control do not work on mbp 6.2 + Lucid. 
Although the brightness level is displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen when I press the F1 and F2 keys, the brightness level does not change at all.
However, trying sudo pommed -d in a terminal gives me:

KEY: LCD backlight down
LCD stepping -1 -> 29464
E: Not primary DBus name owner
KBD: inhibit clear 0x08 -> 0x00

KEY: LCD backlight down
LCD stepping -1 -> 29463
E: Not primary DBus name owner


when I press two times the F1 key (=>decrease brightness). So it seems the stepping (-1) is just too small compared to the number representing the brightness (here: 29464), the brightness control is just too slow to be visible on a human time scale..
