Hi Jordi, Same here, I would be very happy if we could control brightness while running on the NVIDIA card. I don't know exactly what it takes, maybe the Intel card needs to be accessible from the PCI bus (since, as I heard, the physical brightless control is connected to the Intel card). As I see it, initializing the Intel card without allocating any of its buffers (ie: initialize it just enough so we can ask it to set the brightness) might be the way to do it.
Maybe we could set up a bounty that would go to the one who publishes a kernel patch and/or generic shell script and instructions to do it ? That could be nice...
