Does it actually work on non-nvidia Macs? I have applied it locally and tested on my MacBook 3,1 for several weeks now. The intel X driver requires a small patch to use the mbp_backlight class, but I'll let them know once this patch has been applied upstream. There are several bugreports related to this issue at the ubuntu, opensuse, and freedesktop bugzillas (see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D581474 with links to the other reports as well).
