They were using an HDMI to VGA adaptor that was a box about the size of a wall plug transformer. So I'm thinking there needs to be some electronics involved. I guess I should have asked where they got the adaptor.
This could be true (or they didn't know what thety were doing)

VGA is an analogue signal, whereas DVI-D and HDMI are digital. IF the HDMI output has the ability to push analogue, then a straight conversion cable would work.

If not, you would need to do as the guy's from RIM did, an actual Digital to Analogue convertor... about $200... not too great a price.
