It's because the display on the BBone isn't accelerated using the GPU and as KDE is all 3D it has to use the CPU for all the rendering. The beagle bone is not a good device for graphical userspace. The BeagleBone has an onobard eMMC (like a soldered mSD card) not NAND storage. Once you've booted off the mSD card you can using the same process for writing out an image to the eMMC as you did for writing the SD card. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
