Really a great news!!!
I've just installed the hacked version of nvclock and after "nvclock -S 50" the brightness in now set to 50%!
Unfortunately it worked just one time, if I try to change again the brightness it gives to me:

Error!
Smartdimmer is only supported on certain laptops using a Geforce 6200/7x00Go. If you want support on your laptop contact the author.

and it doesn't change nothing (I don't think the error message is related because I could see it also the first time).
The only way to restore brightness is to reboot my laptop, then "nvclock -S 50" works again, but just for one time.
Any idea?
