This definitely did set just one of steps already present in brightness applet in OS2006 and 7. I have finally tried it now with OS2008 initfs and this really changes the real value so you can go to the minimum!!

The only problem is that the value does not stick and once you change it in the applet you need to run dsmetest again. But still quite usable.

So now someone could really hack different brightness applet which would set any custom level via dsmetest -l and no ugly kernel hack would be needed :-)
