Bug description:
On my MacBook 5.1, upon updating to nvidia-bl-dkms 0.16.1~karmic, the 
brightness controls fail to have physical effect on the brightness of the 
screen. The screen brightness remains at 100% brightness.

Pressing the brightness keys brings up the brightness indicator in the 
notifications area, and cause the brightness bar to move up or down very slowly 
(see Bug #357112), however this has no effect on physical brightness. 
Similarly, using the slider under System -> Preferences -> Power Management has 
no effect on physical brightness.

This is a severe regression. The 0.15 series was annoyingly slow to respond, 
but this new series doesn't respond at all.
