I disagree that Portal is the source of the problem, since it loads properly in DX9 since I changed a registry key to make DirectDraw work properly (incidentally, this was intended to fix The Witcher, and did just that). Unfortunately, -dxlevel isn't a proper solution, as it forces the game to load with low-ish default settings every time you start it.
