"System/Preferences/Keyboard Bindings" - look for the brightness controls and set your bindings if not set

There's a brightness applet in ubuntu,just right click your panel,choose add,then scroll down until you see brightness applet.Click add and you're done!
To change the brightness just click the icon and move the slider up or down =)


Hope that helps.

Hey all, 1st post :P

I'm running 8.04 on the same laptop base, and having the same problem. I added the applet, but it doesn't adjust the brightness settings. Any ideas?
