can you please send come more details, on what commands are you getting, what changes did you do in conf.txt , any details on what you did with the file please, and any monitor/ vga cable IF WORKING fine will be OK,

plus if you are getting the boot image , i guess your booting from the SD, and your Zenith's working fine

There's a lot of useful lore on HDMI -> VGA converters at the RasPi Hardware Wiki here and here.
