@derp herp - make sure you don't have the nvidia_bl driver installed - instead I think you just need the mbp_nvidia_bl which comes with the standard kernel - if you have both, then the nvidia_bl conflicts and stops the mbp_nvidia_bl working correctly - uninstall nvidia_bl and then reboot and see if
