Martin, I'm not sure to have understood everything :

You said "hal support for smartdimmer isn't going away anytime soon", but for me hal never manage to get my backlight to work, In one bug report in LP, I know a change has been made for nvidia user, to use smartdimmer, but this is not working for user that do not have laptop_panel in lshal.. like me
That's why I opened that bug report :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hal/+bug/345531

If hal would be fixed, it would mean that everything could be fine under gnome and kde ?

How fast could it be to make hal work without laptop_panel ?

I've already opened a bug for xbacklight... (and still nothing from kernel team)
