Nvidia proprietary driver - backlight problem

Today i've installed arch linux on my Sony-Vaio laptop. Everything worked fine, until i've installed nvidia proprietary driver for GeForce 330M. I've tried nvidiabl and nvidia-bl packages from AUR but nothing works. Is there any solution for this problem?

Carefully read the "Installing" section.

Re: Nvidia proprietary driver - backlight problem

Installed nvidia-340xx and nvidia-340xx-libgl and it worked fine. Problem was that i couldnt control backlight level. But solved this problem by manually creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and adding:

Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
