      Can anybody please advise on the the settings in the /boot/config.cfg file so I can use both HDMI and VGA without changing settings everytime? I have a generic HDMI to VGA adaptor which I've used successfully on consoles and other HDMI devices.

      The first time I attempted this today and got a 800x600 resolution via the adapter by only uncommenting HDMI boost. Turned the PI off, then back on and it stopped working via VGA. All I got was a black screen but I could see the monitor detecting the signal. Tried it via HDMI and I got a signal at 1080p but noticed a delay on bootup. I've changed a few other settings but made no difference in getting both VGA and HDMI to work and I can't get one to display correctly without disabling the other.

      I've followed some of the information in this thread:
