The bbb sgfx is one reason why I've found the minnowboard is so appealing. While we (my company) are using the bbb, and its a great board, if we needed something in a higher performance range and could float the cost we've been eyeing the minnowboard due to its fully open graphics stack.
If the sgx was easier to get working with yocto or mainline kernels we might think differently but we've already sunk a few weeks of effort into getting accelerated graphics working without much success.
