What kind of graphics chip do you have?

You should be able to upload a new backlight curve if you're using Linux
2.6.18 or higher. Also, for NVidia chips, we haven't yet found out for
sure how to detect the maximum value allowed (I was the one rewriting
the backlight infrastructure in 2.6.18). Hence it might be that, when
using an NVidia chipset, the display is not that bright as in Mac OS X.

And anyway, this is in no way distribution specific.
