I have a smilar problem. I am using Hardy Heron and my graphic card is GeForce 9600M GT series. So i am using the latest hardy-propesed package for the nvidia driver.
I am only able to set the brightness via nvidia-settings. Power Manager Brightness Applet 2.22.1 is not dimming the backlight. Same, no error, no flickering. Nothing happens.
