I am right now in progress of testing a Beaglebone Black for my small CNC. I am studying the problem now. My question is : If using a remote X display where the hardware video acceleration should be in the server or in the client . My feeling as 15 years linux user is that the acceleration should be in the X server so using a Raspberry pi that has it can be a good ideea.
