Hi! Thanks a lot! The patch works. The cause for pommed not having any 
visible effect is definitely the Nvidia drivers (I tried the latest 
betas since those are the only ones which can be used with the 2.6.29.2 
kernel); if I change into one of the text terminals and push the 
brightness keys, the screen is adjusted properly (which means I have to 
switch to a text terminal and back to the Xorg screen every time I want 
to change the brightness, but it is just a minor annoyance and 
absolutely better than not being able to change the brightness setting).
However, pommed seems to have some odd interaction with the applesmc 
device - when I start pommed, it uses ~ 20% of the CPU without any 
apparent cause and I get the following message written LOTS of times in 
log:

applesmc: wait status failed: 5 != 10

What could be the cause of this?

Thanks in advance
Alejandro
