Using settings for Megapov radiosity with Povray 3.1 won't lead to
acceptable results.  You should really consider using the new radiosity
since it will lead to better results in general, you will find more people
being able to supply help and suggestions and it will be the only model
supported by future Povray 3.5.

For the old radiosity you might consult the Povray help file, try the
settings in rad_def.inc and have a look at:
