that seems to be exactly my problem too. unfortunately in austria it is impossible to get a (micro)hdmi to vga adapter with its own power supply. for some strange reason ebay, amazon and other stores won't ship them to austria. :/ is there any way around that? I'm powering my bbb with usb. i read somewhere that the bbb gets more power from a power supply unit than from usb. could that give the bbb enough power to also power the adapter? or what happened it i powered the bbb with a power supply unit and with usb at the same time? could that cause a short circuit or something or would it maybe work? I'm sure I could get a 5v power supply somewhere in austria but before i spend more money i'd like to know if it will make a difference.
