When you say radiosity, are you talking about the "box with no
lights" thread from a while ago?
Terminology nitpick: radiosity is a term for a specific global
illumination system. Photon mapping is a term for a different
global illumination system. If you're using a photon map, you
probably shouldn't be using POV-Ray's "radiosity" features.
Perhaps you could get by with an area light. That assumes that
the photon mapping patch works (correctly) with area lights, of
course.
