I'm pretty sure that with both nVidia and ATI drivers, the advanced settings in the control panel can override application settings if they're set to.

Which mesh/lightmap format are you using firstly? are you checking caps and printing a log to check sucessful loading of lightmaps (or embedded?) etc?

ATI don't have 32 bit, they have 24 bit IIRC.

I use 3dsmax and RTT, as far as I know 3dmax don't let you choice other image type than .tga 32bit
I finally put the flag of texture creation ETCF_OPTIMIZED_FOR_QUALITY true and get it better.
