I'm SO thirsty...

I'm in a bit of a 'dry' spell, fellow Linux users ... I'm one video upgrade of CoR away from having too low a fps rate to play the game. In answer, I'd like to start using shader model 2 instead of 3 or 4, BUT in sm2, I can't see ANY water except the swamp pools (which look like tv snow with some colors blended in). All seas & rivers appear as dried out beds/gulches, no water whatsoever in them. This is problematic at times & potentially dangerous to my characters. I've tried every ingame water setting as well as changing to opengl via vg_d3_d9_force_software_vertices 1, but water eludes me & remains completely hidden in sm2. Any ideas as to what is going on & what, if anything, I can change or tinker with in the game.cfg to remedy this? I used to be able to see water in sm2, but since an 'update' back a few months ago, I can't anymore.
