Cannot Change Backlight settings on Gateway

I recently bought a Gateway ID49C07u and installed arch without any trouble (well the wireless is still iffy but you can't win them all)

However the screen's backlight is burning my eyes out.
I have tried xbacklight and while the numbers change as I change them, the screen doesn't.

Example:  xbacklight -set 40
                xbacklight -get returns 40 but the screen doesn't change.

I've tried changing the values in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and nothing changes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also lspci shows that the video card is
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
