This is a very wide-spread problem. Workbench allocates the first 4 and 
the last 4 colors, so if you have 8 colors, they are neatly together, but 
on 256 color screen, they aren't. Get the program MagicColors from 
Aminet, this will fix your problem...

Yeah, this problem was discussed to a certain degree on the mailing list. 
I _think_ it has something to do with the memory on the card... I had the 
same problems, but they kind of disappeard when I switched to the latest 
driver version (2.56, I think. Available for FTP on, let me see, 
ftp.phone.net, if I'm not mistaken)...

Might have been refereing to original Video DMA. If so, if try to boot so 
that the screen remains black (remove/redirect all output in 
startup-sequence, don't load a boot pic etc.), and video DMA shouldn't be 
on... I never had this kind of problem, though...

: If anybody has any idea or suggestion It would be greatly appreciated :)
Hope this helps...
