Strangely enough the brightness controls have started working again in OS 9 :-) Once I had got OS X installed they started working in OS X.
Unforunately, I don't know if was the OS 9.1 or 9.2 update or the OS X install that fixed it. I didn't reset the PRAM or the power manager (if it exists on the Pismo), but I had to cycle the power after OS X hung running fsck a 2nd time (!). Nothing serious fortunately. There is a the tell tale pink screen on startup and wake from sleep, but only a small residual pink streak in the bottom left corner :-( I'm praying that it doesn't get any worse... Now to get the 9.2.2 and 10.2.4 updates... Thanks for everyone's help.
