I find that brightness level 4 is a bit dull and brightness level 5 very bright, there is a huge difference between them. I'm certain that somebody else experiences the same problem. Can I set a brightness level between them? A terminal command? Hm. The issue I've had with brightness, right from the start, is that's the settings aren't fine-grained enough. I usually have it at 4, which is too dark, but 5 is way too bright.

Could I suggest you to use the edit button and not make triple posts?

Sure, I feel you too.
Code:
root
sed -ie 's/brightness-als/brightness-simple/' /etc/mce/mce.ini
New brightness levels shall appear in settings now.

what 'pantera1989' and 'ammyt' said

if you want total control then install my custom brightness, this will give you the control to use brightness 2 - 255 (under 2 and back-light turns off), but still 253 steps to choice from.

I've always found level 4 to be perfect. At any rate, I wish there was a way to specify the _range_ of brightness, and then have the auto-brightness adjustments range between this. And then, ideally, there would be the option to set any number of levels, each with any range.

That would make more sense, in my opinion, from an end-user convenience+freedom perspective. Is that actually doable with current MCE (without the CPU cost of a seperate program doing the monitoring and and adjusting, and having MCE just not touch the screen brightness, as that's a less than optimal hack).

Brightness-simple is just great, I'm on level 3. I wonder why NOKIA haven't used that.

Well in NITDroid (Android generally), the brightness settings lets you slide a slider from 50 all the way up to 230, and you can choose any level between them (hence a slider), far better than the brightness settings in Maemo.
