just repaired permissions, and now i can' get the keyboard to light up at all naymore. f9/f10 shows the circle with a line through it meaning it can't turn on the brightness. restarting doesn't work, opening keyboard prefs and changing everything won't work

any suggestions?

Doesn't it have to be dark for the keyboard to light up?

Yup, just happened to me this morning too, after repairing permissions (finder started acting a little whacky). The keyboard lighting graphic indicates that the function is now unavailable. If I find a solution I'll post it here.
