I don't know about the VGA adapters but ...
I am currently powering my BBB via a USB hub with a charging port. Just use
a USB to DC adapter cable. It has to be a charging port though to get the
extra juice than a regular USB port.
Here is what I am currently using;
that seems to be exactly my problem too.

adapter with its own power supply.

austria. :/
is there any way around that?

I recently got my beaglebone black, and thought that it would be a great
way to replace my old computer with something small that has equal power.
I also wanted to reuse the old VGA monitor from the computer, so I got a
micro HDMI to VGA cable. I plugged it into the monitor and it seemed to

Now, if the EDID information is not passed over this cable, the Linux
cannot figure out the resolution to send. So, check and see if the EDID
information is getting there.
