In ICS you need to set autobrightness in your device overlay and provide a 
table which maps ALS values to backlight intensity. See the following 
example in AOSP for 'tuna' device:
https://android.googlesource.com/device/samsung/tuna/+/android-4.0.1_r1/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

I am not personally familiar with corresponding Gingerbread code but 
simething similar may be needed in your case.
