 Thanks a lot everybody for your help.
 
 Interestingly, on my machine both methods work.

Did this change in more recent kernels?

Cheers,

I just installed and tried 2.6.30-1-amd64 and it worked fine. Thanks for the 
ping.

Have a nice day,

 Check if you hav e a class backlight device in /sys (iotw something under
 /sys/class/backlight). If so you should be able to control the backlight via
 hal. You can test the kernel by echoing values into the brightness file

Indeed, the kernel support seems broken. I can change the values
in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness but they have no impact
on the brightness.

Thanks to all for the help,
