I've got a BBB and am downloading the file at the moment. My board has
run opensuse JEOS in the past so this should be a good test. [Given my
limited skill set, this is about all I can do to contribute. ;-) ]

I noticed there is no sha256 for the XFCE disty. Maybe the file isn't
good.

FWIW, my HDMI cable is plugged into a DVI converter and KVM before
going to my monitor. I doubt it makes a difference, but when you chase
bugs, you need to be specific. 

I'm on DSL so see ya in a few hours.
