      Hello everyone, i'm waiting my raspberry arrive, and meanwhile it not comes i'm trying to understand how it works. Well, i don't have a hdmi monitor or a rca 4 cable to thte 3,5mm jacket. But luckly i've found a HDMI to VGA adapter with audio output, has anyone ever tried using that with ES? First time that you turn on ES, it will auto configure my resolution? 'Cause i heard that, this adapter only works on 1024x768. Above that resolution, it will not work. You can see a message "Input not support". I'm attaching a picture of the HDMI to VGA adapter. If ES can't automaticaly configure my resolution i'll only see a blank screen. 0_1471811872343_cabo-hdmi-para-vga-audio-976421-MLB20779242295_062016-F.jpg

        Yes, I have used a few of those adapters. You must set your specific resolution in /boot/config.txt (base on the monitor you are using)

        Look at this for reference:
