Note that there is a hardware GPU on the BeagleBone Black, it just isn't working (yet) with the 3.8 kernel. I consider the current lack of hardware video acceleration annoying, but temporary. Of course, you are free to run with a remote X display if you want. I use a mix of remote X displays and native HDMI output on my systems, mostly depending on what monitors I do or don't have handy when testing something. -- Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
