stopping screen auto-dim

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to stop my iBook from dimming its screen after a few minutes of the screensaver kicking in. I like watching the screensaver until the display blacks out completely.
 
The iBook screen dimming is set to happen at half the time it takes for your screen to black out. So if you had it set to black out at 45 minutes, then the screen would dim at 22.5 minutes.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to change this.
 
Just as an update to this, you can actually turn the dimming off in Tiger's Energy Saver preference pane. It's under the Options portion.
 
On my 15" G4 PB I've got the screen set to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use and the screensaver set to come on after 3 minutes, but the screen dims after approximately 1 minute of not touching the keyboard or mouse/trackpad - even if Quicktime is playing a movie. This means I always have to lean forward to touch the pad or keyboard every minute while I'm trying to watch something.

Where's the setting to fix this?

Cheers, Owen
