I recommend trying this:

Set the default texture to ambient 0.  (You can add the default statement from
the Misc Directives insert menu).  Set radiosity settings to:

radiosity {
  count 5            //increase if blochy.  Sometimes all you need is 1.
  error_bound .8     //The smaller the value, the better and the slower.
  recursion_limit 1  //all you really need, most of the time
}
