The brightness control works fine, either through the control panel or via the Fn key, but the system does not "remember" my settings, and set it all the way back to the maximum at each boot.
PNLF control method doesn't work for my Acer Aspire 9420. You might want to try display override. It may help Mac OS X to recognized your display better hence fix the backlight issue. I think I have read somewhere about this issue (backlight reset to max) but can't remember where. It is known issue but I don't know if there is a workaround for it.

1) Retail Mac OS X 10.6 ** Acer Aspire 9420 Intel C2D T5600 ** 4GB DDR2 ** NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 128MB ** Dell Wireless 1395 (rebrand to AirPort Extreme) ** ALC883
2) Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ** Dell Studio 1557 Intel Core i7 720QM ** 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz ** ATI HD4570 512MB ** Intel WiFi 5300 ** Seagate Momentus 5400.6 SATA 3Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive 5400RPM ** WLED 1366x768 15.6"
3) Retail Mac OS X 10.5.6 + Vista Ultimate ** Acer Aspire 3680 Intel Celeron M 440
** Linksys WPC54G v3.1 ** ALC883
