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.
