They don't use pommed at all - they use just gnome-power-manager. I'm just saying pommed will change the brightness on Debian, so it is obvious brightness CAN be changed on Debian.
Regarding the changes, Ubuntu posts its changes to Debian sources at " patches.ubuntu.com". Gnome-power-manager's patchfile is located at: http://patches.ubuntu.com/g/gnome-power-manager/ Be forewarned that these are patches against the latest development version (2.19.5) as that's what they have in their unstable repositories. Is there a filesystem directory where I can find system-specific brightness configurations? I figure Ubuntu includes the patches necessary to adjust MacBook brightness, and Debian does not.

AFAIK, the pommed author knowingly skipped HAL integration as it was considered too painful. Perhaps Ubuntu doesn't use pommed or adds another package providing more information or patches pommed to provide the information? Anyway, it would be nice if you could extract the differences and attach them here, but I'm convinced this is machine specific. -- Loïc Minier
