Answering both questions and thanks for the responses.

I purchased a micro HDMI to VGA converter on Amazon (
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00879EZJI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
and it seems to work fine.  I can see the system briefly at boot up as well
as when it goes into X but after about 5 seconds the display goes into
powersave mode.  I'll have to look and see if I have a VGA port on any of
my TV's, otherwise, I don't have an adapter.

I am able to SSH into the system using the USB cable and my Macbook.  Is
there a way I can set it to a low resolution that both BBB supports and the
monitor.  I tried modifying the uEnv.txt file per the BBB HDMI support wiki
but then I saw that's only for the boot sequence.  Is there another way to
force this?

Thanks again,
Steve
