I have a problem with NVIDIA drivers and mainline kernel. It is also written in "limitations" that restricted drivers will not work...and that's what happened to me.

Did you try Jaunty and brightness worked? You said in your previous posts that:

>I'm in jaunty right now, and 2.6.28-11 (output of uname -r, but not on kernel.org?!) doesn't work too. the brightness

It means it DOESN'T work in *.29 series. And your experience is like mine (jaunty beta3 doesn't solve the issue, only the applet).

I agree with you we have to find diff between the two versions and send to the team. It's annoying not being able to change brightness on a laptop (poor eyes).
