Thanks, Graham, for this excellent development .

I've been lurking around this thread for some time, and I have the USB2VGA2 adapter working nicely .

My interest is in making PowerPoint presentations with the N810, and I have been somewhat diverted getting qole's Easy-Debian and pipeline's DBus-Switchboard working smoothly - now achieved (with thanks to those two fine artists ).

from Graham: There are still several additional tasks which we really need to complete including ... further researching the Powerpoint display options to be able to have good quality and high speed both at the same time!
I have found a nice PowerPoint plug-in called PPTools ImageExport. This allows you to specify the quality and size of jpg that you want, and lets you name the images ready for sisusb-slideshow.sh (Slide1.jpg, Slide2.jpg, etc) and save them to a directory. It costs USD 30.00, but it's great to be able to produce the hi-res jpgs directly from PowerPoint .

I've also been playing with hardware and power options, and I'll post these separately.
