Hi,
you can adjust brightness level by sending values directly to device, by setpci:
setpci -s 00:02.0 f4.b=ff
where 00:02.0 is the device address returned by lspci,and ff is a hexadecimal value <0,ff>. I have n210 running Debian, works well
Because it wasn't easy to control brightness this way, I've written a program that adjusts brightness, you can download source from here:
ftp://x.servebeer.com/bright.c
//Edit: Port changed from 51300 to default ftp 21
or here:

It's a _very simple_ program, but it allows you to increase/decrease brightness by predefinied step, check actual brightness level and set level to a specific value.
It uses the same method that setpci does (write to file in /sys), so plz remember this can be dangerous - use at your own risk.
App does not assign any key shourtcuts, you have to do this manually.
