[PLUG] usb -> svga adapters...

Does anyone have a usb -> svga adapter that I could try / borrow /
purchase?  I need to give a presentation or two in Europe, and I'm
hoping to take only an XO laptop (to save weight, and to take
advantage of the awesome wireless abilities).  The XO, of course, has
no video out.

I've found some indication that it is possible to get one of these
adapters to work with an XO (linux has support for the Net2280/SiS315
chipset, and see [1]), however, the newegg reviews of one indicate
that the video quality is not sufficient for a presentation, and I'm
not willing to spend $70+ on a device that might not do the job.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!
