Older Mac's display dim before screen sleep

[greg.h]

Is there a way on the older MacBooks to make the display fade down to the low setting before it sleeps? On my Pro right now, it just snaps down.
Does anyone know of an application or something?
Thanks!

Is there no option in your Energy settings?

System Preferences > Energy Saver > Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep is not available?

Oh, I'm sorry - I'm being really unclear. I have that option turned on, but when it goes down, it just snaps down. The newer Macs fade to the lower setting rather than just snapping down.

Then what Mac OS X version is running on it?

And what exact Mac model is it?

It's the model just before the new unibody systems. It's running the latest version of Snow Leopard.

Maybe repair your permissions?

That's my default solution for everything. 🙄
