SL300 on Opensuse 11.1 Gnome : Cannot set brightness

Hello,

I cannot set brightness of lcd screen on my thinkpad sl300 laptop

Here are a few details :

- opensuse version 11.1 gnome, fully updated as of oct 19th 2009
- INstalled laptop tools
- default Brightness is kinda dimmed
- fn keys or power management have NO effect on brightness
- Graphic driver is intel 4500m
- I've have no problems like that with other distros on this laptop (ubuntu, fedora, PClinux, mandriva to name a few)

Anyone can help?
