Besides what Camaleón has suggested - for sure there is an utility for
Your nDE You can write a simple bash script that will run the following:
echo n > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness
where n is one of:
37 12 25 37 50 62 75 87 100
(st least for my system), and make shortcuts for those keys.
Or, if constant brightness is OK, You can set it at the boot time by
adding the above command to
/etc/rc.local
file.
