The brightness control works in any Samsung laptop starting with Oneiric (it introduced the new samsung_laptop kernel driver). Therefore I'm marking this bug as fixed. However, please note that the backlight flickers in Oneiric until bug 810093 is fixed. The flickering can be stopped by changing the baclight brigtness. Further workarounds and more details cas be found from that bug. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.
