I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 on Dell Inspiron 1464 which has onboard graphics.
I too had the same problem and I wrote a script to overcome this issue.
Thought it would good to share it with the community.

Now I have a problem...
I have an Asus Z96J and now the slider that controls brightness doesn't

The keyboard controls work, but gnome power-manager is completely wrong
in what related to the backlight.

Yes, the idea now is that it adjusts by a value set in the GConf keys
not to a fixed value. So it is a -30% on unplug and +30% on plug in.
This also is intended to fix some problems users have with external
programs setting the brightness outside of GPM (sadly).
