Brightness control is dead after install Nvidia Drivers

Hey,

I've just installed the Nvidia drivers on my Debian, however, after i do it, the laptop brightness control doesn't work anymore...

When i press the keys, i see the brightness bar, however, the brightness stays at maximum.

I've used the following commands to install the drivers.

Code:

  apt-get update
    apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source
    m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source
    apt-get install nvidia-glx
    apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
    nvidia-xconfig
    apt-get install nvidia-settings

The Laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-FE21B with a Nvidia Geforce 7400

Can you help me?

thx in advance.
