As far as I know, it's just a matter of using the VGA card manufacturer's
manual booklet (as supplied with the card and it's disk) for instructions
on how to set-up the driver in 256 colour mode to work with AutoCAD.

(Note: most of the VGA cards I have installed for use in AutoCAD 
machines have easy-to-follow instructions with SPECIFIC directions
about configuring the colours.  They usually also have directions
for things like WordPerfect, AutoCAD release 9, and others.)

I have done this 256 colour setup thing MANY times, so if you continue
to have problems, why not e-mail me the details, and I will try to help
out.
