There is no such thing as 'Oneiric 3.0.0...'. What you have is the Linux Kernel 3.0.0.. built for/on Oneiric. It's a subtle difference but important when trying to articulate what the issue was. As I understand it you're running Ubuntu 10.10, and had manually installed the Linux 3.0 kernel from the mainline ppa. You did this to see if the backlight issue you have is fixed in a later kernel. I doubt that repeatedly installing newer kernels will magically fix the backlight issue you have. What probably really needs to be done is to figure out at what point the kernel (or whatever) broke the backlight issue. Sometime between the kernel supplied with Ubuntu 10.10 and the one supplied with Ubuntu 11.04 a change was made which broke it. Finding exactly which change (or changes) did that is not easy.
