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.

Yes. Well at least my old TNT2 supports it. Was using that feature until it broke down 2 years ago because my monitor had problems back then and was using Gamma correction on XF86Config.
I'm on the NVidia driver. Unfortunately, my motherboard requires at least 4X AGP so no TNT2 :(
I'm trying out 'xgamma' (builtin) and 'xbrightness' <http://wildspark.com/xbrightness/>.
They do reduce the brightness but solid white does not go down in brightness. On the other hand, the Windows gamma correction tool for the VIA Unichrome graphics chip - onboard video - manages to reduce brightness uniformly, as if the LCD's lamps could go down in brightness.

Migz,
I did try NVidia's latest Linux driver on Fedora 3.... Seems that there are still a couple of bugs in their driver. Starting X will bring up their Logo but then the X system won't continue to load the Desktop. Mouse cursor then gets splattered all over the screen. I had to to revert back to either using nv or rivafb drivers.
