I'm now trying NVidia's proprietary driver, on Whitebox 3 (XFree86 4.3.0). The good news: 'nvidia-settings' works and can adjust the brightness just as it does under Windows.
The bad news: The window manager (or something underneath it) doesn't draw properly. Instead of the usual blue desktop screen, I get black with grains, and windows are broken. If I can't make this work on WBEL, I'll see if switching to a later X like Fedora Core 3's X.org will fix it.
