Silicon Valley invented extra long VGA cables for
folks who fear to leave their Laptops near the
projector and Asia came up with transparent VGA video
transmitters/receivers, that no not require extra
drivers, already years ago.

But again, that stuff is expensive and I never had any
such problems.

I might be cheaper to just buy a Thinkpad 770 for the
presentation alone, copy your charts over and hook the
whole thing up to a video transmitter/receiver via the
video out port (some other Thinkpads also have a video
out port supported under OS/2).
