Not a problem, thanks to those that donated them. We just wish we could have gotten to it sooner.

anybody could post instructions to get X working ? is the kernel provided by arch supports the GPU of the wandboard Quad ? I have installed the official Arch image , so far it works but I can't get X working. I'm not so familliar with Arch as I'm a Debian user , but I find that arch seems more interresting to use on embeded devices like the Wandboard. Any help would be much appreciated .

Thanks by advance.

I didn't do anything to get X working. Just installed xorg-server and a desktop environment (xfce4 in my case).
What kind of error are you getting?

As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) there is no hardware acceleration for wandboard armhf. I've read in the wandboard formus something about a experimental version from freescale and a independent work-in-progress free driver (laanwj/mesa at github) but nothing usable for the moment.
