ATi use to have some passive adapters in the wild, i've seen where the video card will detect their custom hdmi cable and pass vga signals thru it.. There are a lot more active hdmi -> vga cables now on amazon too... But they must be externally powered, as the bbb can't supply enough power on it's own thru the hdmi port. http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Active-Female-Adapter/dp/B008O7RH5C As long as they properly pass the i2c bus used for edid read's, the bbb should detect the vga screen.
