The green color is related to a wrong rendering path.
Solution :
Open the console and enter "r_renderer ARB" ( without quotes ).
This should fix the problem ( at least it does for Radeon 8500 ).

I've actually had this problem with my Mobile 9000.

Quake 4, meets the same requirements as Doom 3 does, but listed differently.Let's compare.
I know the specs of Quake 4 first hand!
CPU-2 ghz.Pfft, the D3 engine requires 1 ghz, and I've seen D3 ran on a p3 800 with smooth FPS.Only needs 1.5 to get smooth FPS.
Ram-512.I'll have to agree on this.
GPU-Supports al Geforce 4-up, Radeon 9700-up, Radeon x-series.Again, it will support it. I don't get it though, the Geforce 4 models probably operate the same as the 9000, yet it's listed as supported.But, still.WRONG!
OS-Windows 2000/XP, yeah.Of course.Wait until someone releases a 98 fix patch.=]

to open the console in Quake4 press the "~" key and then you will see the console pop halfway down the page :)

then type the following:
"r_renderer ARB"
then Enter and then "~" again and the console pop's up again ;)
