Please note that DVI to VGA converter is not actually a converter. It’s just using using analog DVI pins. A VGA monitor, can be connected to a video source with DVI-I through the use of a passive adapter.

The Analog (VGA) signal are produced by converting Parallel RGB interface signal.
So to make VGA display works you need to set

Active Display

  • 0x00001: LCD
    for both BootupStyle and HotPlugStyle registry key. Please refer to this article for details.

Could please provide details about WinCE version you are using and its BSP release version?

Version 2.0 is outdated and not supported anymore. Many issues was fixed since 2.0 Please upgrade to version 2.4. To make your VGA display work follow this post. Please pay attention to the UseSplashSettings registry key. If it set to 1 registry values will be ignored and eboot settings will be in use.
