You could try getting a DisplayLink based mini monitor device to work
like this http://sven.killig.de/openwrt/slugterm_dl.html

Disclaimer: I work for DisplayLink.

The company have released an open source userspace library
(http://displaylink.org/) and there has also been some reverse
engineering.  The combination of which has resulted in a kernel
framebuffer driver. It's all being discussed on the mailing list at
displaylink.org (which currently redirects to
http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/).
