I've the Wandboard Quad on the bench, worked out of the box !

Added the WiFi antenna, few minutes configuration via the ubuntu system settings, and joined my WiFi network without a glitch.

Very, very impressed with the quality of video, even playing videos through vnc. Nicely done. Blog article coming soon ...

Cheers

jamodio in that screenshot of your wbquad, you seem to have ubuntu running at something more than 640x480. Did you have to do anything to get the better resolution ?

640x480 is the only choice I'm getting, and in any case unity with it's fixed size window is useless at that resolution since the OK button is off the screen so I couldn't click on it anyway.

Using the HDMI video interface I get 1280x720, but didn't spend much time trying to change it or testing other settings.

That screen shot and how I've it since then working is via vnc with 1280x960 (vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x960)

Was that with a widescreen monitor ? I wonder if it's because I'm using a 4:3 monitor, or just a different version of ubuntu...
