One may buy a simple HDMI to VGA cable, or an HDMI to DVI cable. Example: on Amazon. However, my vague knowledge is that these cables only work for video cards that have special support for this function. Does the Raspberry Pi support such things? Is there any easy way to use the Raspberry Pi on a screen that only takes VGA input without a converter box? What kind of conversion to other video outputs would the Raspberry Pi hardware support, and what cables or other equipment would be necessary for this?
