Mark,

Well know problem on x100 AV PowerMacs. You need to set your screen
bit-depth to either 8 or 24 bits (256 or millions of colors). 16 bit
(thousands of colors) will give you shades of gray.

To change bit depth, boot into Mac OS and use the Monitors Control
Panel, or the Control Strip, and the reboot into mklinux.
