By improving the driver, do you mean getting it to scale values based upon which machine it is running on to report a larger dynamic range under 'normal' light conditions? This should be relatively straight forward, provided we can obtain some data about which machines report these lower values - do you have access to any other machines which you could provide info for and I'll see what I can do about hacking on the driver.
