My backlight PPA at https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/linux-kamal-mjgbacklight has been updated with a revised version of the experimental backlight control patches.

This version also includes various upstream Intel GPU driver changes, and sets the kernel parameter "acpi_backlight=vendor" internally (there is no longer any need to set the parameter to enable the new intel_backlight functionality). A couple of additional kernel boot parameters have also been added for testing/troubleshooting purposes -- see the updated notes on the PPA page for details.

The PPA supports Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) and Ubuntu Natty (11.04 alpha).
   *[pending resolution of a build problem with the Natty version]

Users who experience any problems with the PPA version contact me or post here.
