Some OldWorld Powermacs, most notably those with the "control" display
driver but possibly others as well, may not produce a colormap which
reliably results in visible output under Linux when the display is
-configured for more than 256 colors. If you are experiencing issues with
-your display such that after rebooting, you can sometimes see data on
-the monitor, but in other occasions cannot see anything; or if after
+configured for more than 256 colors. If you are experiencing such issues
+with your display after rebooting, you can sometimes see data on
+the monitor, but on other occasions cannot see anything; or if after
booting the screen turns black instead of showing you the installer
interface, try changing your display settings under MacOS to use 256
colors instead of "thousands" or "millions".
