We are having exactly the same problem with the 2.2 beta (when using
PFGS_POLYS), the only solution we found is not to scale the loaded objects. We
scale them directly in their description files (Inventor, obj) but we display
them in our Performer based application with a size of 1.0, so lightnings are
correctly done. It sounds weird, but it is the only way we found.

I hope this will help you,

  Cheers, Didier
