As the raspberry PI doesn’t have a conventional BIOS, the various system configuration parameters that would normally be kept and set using the BIOS are now stored on a text file named “config.txt”.

Connecting the Raspberry Pi to an analogue VGA monitor

The Raspberry Pi uses a HDMI output for its video ( or composite video –  RCA connector )

It is not possible to connect HDMI direct to a VGA only monitor as the signal needs to be converted from a digital signal to an analogue signal. Fortunately there are converters available…     http://www.penguintutor.com/news/raspberrypi/hdmi2vga

In config.txt file, the following two lines need to be uncommented by removing the ‘#’ at the start of the line.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

hdmi_drive=2
