Couple of minor nitpicks:
You don't seem to be running a Darwin patch. If you're not adding Darwin to Method _INI with Clover (I generally stay away from Clover DSDT fixes and try to do things manually when possible), you'll need to apply that patch from RehabMan's repo.

You can edit Windows 2001 in that patch to be any of the appropriate options found in Method _INI. As a whole, this code doesn't seem to do much on your machine. Your DSDT has no conditionals for 0x07D9, Windows 2009 (Windows 7), so it does nothing different than the current code paths. There are a few conditionals that check for 0x07D6, Windows 2006 (Vista). The three Windows 2001 (XP) options have a couple of conditionals between them. If it were me, I'd probably edit the patch to apply for Windows 2009, even though it doesn't effect much.
Also, it doesn't look like you have the MCHC patch.

For giggles you might try foregoing the ACPI_Backlight.kext by building an injector to use the stock AppleBacklight.kext. I followed this simple guide to get that working on my machine (use v2 script):

Otherwise, looks good; great work.
I love it how everytime you reply on this thread, I learn more and more! Thanks a million for the new info. I will try it out. It does indeed seem like a great idea to figure out how to use the original applebacklight.kext.
For the Darwin patch, I had never heard of it, and didn't really understand what it was for. On my desktop, I don't have that either. Or is this a laptop specific thingie?
