I finally found time to think of a version that might be acceptable to get into Jaunty. I placed the kernels at the usual location at http://people.canonical.com/~smb/bug333386/. In theory this should detect your system, print a "Using less strict video detection" message in dmesg and the brightness control should work. If this fails (because I messed up the check) there is a second way by using "acpi_video_strict_detect=0" as a boot parameter. Please let me know how this works for you.
