Should be possible. I've heard that X works there, but I haven't tried it by myself. RPi is something I would like to avoid. But there aren't much more other ARM choices right now. Chromebook is another thing that can somewhat output video. And BBB could maybe output something to graphic LCD (direct connection, no HMDI). But IIRC currently RPi is only thing where FB works?
