I have a Raspberry pi, model B, 512.
No problems at all when I connected the HDMI port to a friend's HD TV.
I bought a used Sony VGA monitor, manufactured in 2004 - MODEL SDM HS73.
This works perfectly when connected to the VGA port on my laptop.
I bought from MCM Electronics: "PiView HDMI to VGA converter for the Raspberry Pi - Exclusively from element14", quoting from the package.
When I connected the Sony monitor to my Rpi via the PIView I get the message
"OUT OF RANGE
RESOLUTION > 1280 X 1024"
on the monitor.
Looking up the specifications for the monitor I read: "Native Resolution 1280 x 1024"
Which device -- the Rpi or the PiView -- is asking for the out-of-range resolution?
If the PiView is responsible, should I return it?
If the Rpi is to blame, what will fix it?
In the meantime, I have ordered a HDMI to VGA converter with its own power supply.
Any help will be appreciated.
