Mario, thanks for your help. I guess I will have to wait until kernel 2.6.34 when my Intel Graphics chipset will be supported.

Here is the effect to the kernel of nvidia-bl running 'debug=1' and changing backlight to 0: g...@vaio:/sys/class/backlight/nvidia-backlight$ dmesg|grep nvidia [ 6.442172] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
