Varun, armv7 does not ensure hardware accelerated X, It depends on the
integrated gpu of the board's soc and it's availability of drivers/sources.
Texas Instruments is best with this kind of stuff.

Hence i would suggest getting an OMAP3/4 board (beagle) or a samsung exynos
board if performance is what you want.
