I'll skip to the end: Success!

Running the b2 driver on Leopard 10A432 in 32-bit mode on a 17" MacBook Pro.

However, the installer did put up a messagebox at the end saying something like DisplayLink.kext failed to install properly and to contact the vendor or try re-installing. I'm paraphrasing from memory. I hit 'OK' but then it only gave me the option to restart the system. I did and then the display worked.

Checking the console, I'm still getting these messages:

8/18/09 9:21:15 AM kernel USBF: 835.251 [0x6157f00] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
8/18/09 9:21:16 AM kernel USBF: 836. 80 [0x6157f00] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 2 of hub @ location: 0xfd830000)

I don't remember getting them before installing b1. I might just go ahead and reinstall Snow Leopard from the latest disk to see if it goes away.

Also, there still seems to be the problem where DisplayLink prevents the system from recognizing the boot disk and hangs, so you have to keep the cable out, wait until you get the spinner on the gray boot screen, then plug it all back in. A bit annoying because you have to unplug each time you restart the system and if you're doing development, that happens a lot.

All-in-all, however, I'm a happy camper. Missed not having the use of that monitor for the last few months.
