thanks to Felix Geyer for the patch.
this didn't work right aways since my system is a MSI U120.
here's what I did.. (no need to patch anything)
I created a file in /etc/hal/fdi/information/msi-backlight-fix.fdi
with this content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.category" string="laptop_panel">
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.board.vendor"
prefix_ncase="micro-star">
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.board.product"
contains_outof="U100;U-100"
<merge key="laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware"
type="bool">true</merge>
<remove key="info.addons"
type="strlist">hald-addon-generic-backlight</remove>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
then restarted the hal service (backlight works great)
I changed hardware for board make it more generic.
