Thanks Robert for your understanding. I am truly sad the GPU is just sitting there unused. I do not understand what is stopping us from using a piece of silicon that is begging to be used for its consummate talent; graphics processing. I sincerely wish you could tell me why we haven't used it. My instincts tell me that if you do so, it might piss some people off. Probably TI. But I am definitely taking this to their forum.
I believe the BBB can get much much faster if we could use the GPU. I am a beginer but I guess that is a logical statement as unnecessary CPU load is reduced. I do not know if Raspberry PI is not using its GPU too. Are all small sized boards not using the GPU inside them?
