[Question #46579]: Brightness control via software

 

New question #46579 on Ubuntu Eee:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/46579

I would like to know how to control the display brightness via software. I was able to peform commands li,e this on eeeXubuntu 7.10:

echo -n $VALUE > /proc/acpi/asus/brn

But on Ubuntu Eee that path is read-only (even though it has 644 permission).

How can I achieve the desired effect?
