Thank you John. Since then I have bought a micro-HDMI to HDMI cable, and now it works. So it’s really the micro-HDMI to VGA adapter that doesn’t work.
About the console problem, I’ve found that TXD and RXD were inverted... I’m now fighting with Debian installer which is searching a CD reader. But that’s an other story. Thanks all for your help. And I hope these informations will help others as minnowboard max is being more and more used.
