not entirely sure I understand the concept of using displaylink as an 
output. Does this mean that if the GPU on the card does accelerated 3D 
then this could be done then the rendered output sent out to the 
displaylink? Compiz on the displaylink would be kind of amazing.
I think the displaylink as a card approach would still be useful 
especially for embedded applications where the controlling computer 
might not have anything resembling a GPU on it.

Or did I miss the point?
