Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Linux 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:26:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Brightness Applet 2.32.0
Fresh install.
Brightness applet does nothing since I installed proprietary nvidia drivers.
It would be nice if brightness applet detected that I am using proprietary drivers and automagically set my brightness with an appropriate program, eg. smartdimmer:
$ smartdimmer -h
NVClock SmartDimmer adjustment tool version 0.8b4.
Usage: smartdimmer [OPTION]...
Options:
-g --get Query brightness level.
-s --set <level> Set brightness level (15-100)
-i --increase Increase brightness with one level.
-d --decrease Decrease brightness with one level.
-h --help Prints this help text.

What kind of NVidia card do you have? I have the proprietary NVidia drivers installed too, and the brightness applet does work. It is responding very slowly and generates roughly 50% CPU usage, but it does change the brightness.
