I think it has to do with my Gcard (128 RAI 9200), how do I get it to work?

I think you need a DX9 compatible card to use bloom. The radeon 9200 is DX 8.1

Type mat_dxlevel 90 into the console to force DX 9. Only use it for taking Bloom screenies or ColourMod screenies, because it gives you a horrendously low framerate.

No problemo. It will also make bump-mapping on everything more obvious.

You can't force a DirectX level that the card doesn't support. Your card is just too old for that effect.
