Ubuntu Screen Brightness - Austneal - 11-10-2010

Ive got Ubuntu 10.04 on a Gateway T-6836 laptop, and I can't seem to get the display to dim like its supposed to. It works fine in windows, but when I'm in Ubuntu its at max brightness all the time. When I try to use the function keys (fn + down arrow) to decrease it, it shows the little slider bar at the top likes its dimming it, but nothing happens. Any ideas to what would be causing this? Confused

right click on any panel; and click (add to panel) and choose the "brightness app"...
Hope I helped!
