Using an HDMI to VGA adapter requires that you edit "/boot/config.txt" to force the video out the HDMI port. The video will try to detect an HDMI display but the adapter prevents that. If no HDMI display is detected, then the video goes out the composite port. Can't have video out of both at the same time. Below are the commands I use in config.txt to force HDMI (I'm also using a VGA adapter but mine is white) and to set my resolution to 1366x768 (yours may be different).

Code: Select all

framebuffer_width=1366
framebuffer_height=768
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
