Deggis if that was referring to me, I'm afraid that's the best my card can offer. 64mb ATI on a 2 year old laptop.
For screenshots I always set everything to max in ATI control panel, set max screen resolution (1280x1024) in LFS + all the graphics to max there as well.
Sadly, that's as good as it gets.
The poor performance is highlighted on those B&W shots even more, because I increased the contrast quite a lot to get the effect that I wanted.
