There is one way, but it's limited to VGA-only, and you'll need an output adapter for your mini. $170...so a tad expensive.

I've gotten this to work with many machine listed as "unsupported" (including a powerbook)
It works with PCs with that Intel graphics chipset, so it "should" with the mini.

YMMV, and no guarantees. Was curious about this myself...

Well, shut my mouth!

I guess it is possible.

Not cheap though, especially compared to the cost of the mini.
