Well, they had something at the Summit, it wasn't noBounds, it was closer to Graham Cobb's USB2VGA proof-of-concept. It was better than Cobbs' version, in that it could clone the tablet screen fairly accurately, but it still had a fairly crappy frame rate.

I think I was the only one to actually use the system. I had to install my stuff onto a Nokia-provided tablet. That went pretty smoothly. To make it work, we had to connect the tablet to the USB2VGA device, then run "sudo modprobe sisusbvga" (or something like that). Up popped the tablet screen on the projector! Not bad. But most of the animations in my presentation showed on the tablet screen, but not on the projected screen. Wouldn't be any good for watching video or playing arcade games.

I got Graham Cobb and the Nokia guy together, and they talked a bit; supposedly the Nokia IT guys are trying to get official permission to release their video out hacks, which include some kind of kernel patches. Pester these guys if you want it.
