Well, it really needs to be fixed in X.org (the XBACKLIGHT extension),
in hal, DevKit, or anywhere else there is simply no way to get it
right (if you consider multi-monitor setups, xrandr configurations,
etc., and also the fact that X.org _also_ controls the backlight in
some way).

Please see

for some details.
