Snow Leopard changed the brightness range of MBP 13" ?

This is my question : after a clean install of Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 13" (9CC2 panel), it seems that Snow Leopard definitely change the brightness range on the MacBook Pro 13" !

The range was much "wider" with Leopard, and allow me to set brightness to a dimmer level...
Now, the brightness is on the bright side, and can't be set really dim (not as far as before...).
And that's not great for my battery life!

Any other experience with MacBook Pro 13" brightness settings ?
Hope Apple will fix that as soon as possible...

Bests from France,
Nicolas

MacBook Pro 13" 2.53Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6)

Yes, thanks to everyone for saving the many trips to the apple store kicking and screaming for a solution. Wow Freeman, your update was 1.54gbs?! mine was only 154mbs lol. Do you have a special update I don't know about?

I have the same problem.
I used to keep my brightness on the lowest setting before the update, and now i need it on a minimum of 10 to not have to strain to see.

Did anyone else notice this?

Incredible. So the problem is solved in new SL release?
I am asking because, guys, one month later... my MBP is still out for repair.
And they are not telling me anything about when it will be ready.
The shop does not answer phone, Apple Support says they dont have direct contact with their shops...
Very bad experience, terrible service.

Iggi, you still haven't gotten your MBP back? They should definitely have that back to you by now, it has been waaay too long for them to still be fixing it.
Remember this though, people who raise **** and make a scene get what they want with Apple. I know this sounds stupid, and I myself would have a VERY difficult time being mean and loud, but I hear that is the best way to go about getting what you want.
Just call everyone, get mad, get them to transfer you higher and higher up the chain until you get your way.
Don't give up. Good luck,
The Freeman

Thanks Freeman, I did today, but the situation is a bit different on this side of the ocean.
Could you please confirm that the 9CC2 problem is solved with 10.6.2 ?
In this case I will go to the shop today and ask them to give me back my computer, repaired or not.

Thank you, ciao
Iggi

Just a final update, I can quit bothering the world with this.
Apple customer relations helped me with the shop problem, and display brightness is finally ok with 10.6.2
Thanks everybody,
