Miguel Gasper is right. I have an ASUS M6Ne. I think that there is a misfuncion in gnome-power-manager guis (changing the values from gconf editor works). the applet did work in the past!
I get these errors: [gpm_hal_device_get_bool] gpm-hal.c:204 (12:22:52): ERROR: No property laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/acpi_brn [gpm_hal_device_get_bool] gpm-hal.c:210 (12:22:52): GetPropertyBoolean failed! .....
