What brand of 24-bit card are you using?  Have you contacted the manufacturer
to ask if they intend to be compatible with A/UX?  A monitor board may work
under Mac OS without necessarily being compatible wit A/UX.  Special things
must be done to insure that the board will run under A/UX, and apparrently
not everyone is doing them.
