Careful with nvidia-settings and the Z.  Last I checked for me it controlled 
contrast (or something like that) instead, giving the illusion of being dark 
or light but it wasn't actually brightness.  One user warned this may not be 
good for your vision (though I don't know why).

Brightness controls with the Intel card definitely appear correct.
