Assuming you are using 11.10, you can click the System Settings icon in the Unity Launcher, and then go into Screen. There, you are able to change the brightness.

When you have runned the upgrade to 11.04 it makes much sense you also do the upgrade to 11.10.

More hardware support build in there, more stable, more recent bugfixes.

When you are finished, please set this here to solved.

By the way, when I remember correct you have also the ability to get in Ubuntu10.10 to system settings and doing monitor adjustments.

Can you help with this problem?
