half life brightness

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life.counterstrike (More info?)

Im having a problem with half life. I cant get it bright enough.

Im using an ati all in wonder 128 pro card with the latest drivers for
windows 98.
Opengl works fine but is dark in alot of maps. what is strange is that some
maps are very bright but in buildings it gets very dark.
Ive tried d3d but keeps saying the video mode is unsuported
