I think I have a similar problem here. I've never been able to use the brightness buttons on my HP laptop (an 8510w) so I used "nvclock -S" to set it. When pressing the Fn keys it changes the brightness in the notification, but the real brightness stays the same.
When using smartdimmer, -s works but both -d and -i don't.
Ubuntu 9.04 here, HP 8510w, NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M.

(If I need to file a new bug just tell me.)
