If you have Desktop Kernel
Try Default or PAE, that sorted it for me in KDE

No way what?!
Just switch kernel.

Surely there is a power control in gnome though?

I tryed to switch to kernel default: no brightness controll on my samsung r519 con video Intel GMA X4500 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0
then I tried the option acpi_osi=Linux on grub. still nothing. nor function keys nor gnome applet work
then I tried the option acpi_osi=!Linux ... but still nothing to do.
nay ideas or link to set brightness control?
in ubuntu gnome applet works just right. switching to ubunt is my last resort.
