The exact command that I issued:
echo 3 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
The result of this command was a freeze this time as well (expected??).
The output of ls -l /sys/class/backlight/ is:
prompt> ls -l /sys/class/backlight/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2010-08-20 18:26 acpi_video0 -> ../../devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0
