No - there is no converter.
The mainboard supports 3 video outputs: VGA, DVI, HDMI
After i connected an additional DVI monitor with Full-HD resolution all was working perfect.
I got the 1920 resolution on the DVI and 1024 additional on the VGA monitor.

After the DVI Monitor was connected the compositor with OpenGL 2.0 was working too.
But it makes problems with only the VGA monitor connected. So a DVI monitor should be used.

So this can be classified as minor problem.
Hopefully other user will profit from this description.

Cheers
Karsten
