Mac mini to Projector connectivity

HDMI needs a digital signal path, which disappears when you do DVI -> VGA. In short, you'll get nothing - nada - zip - no picture at all apart from the very helpful words 'no signal'.

Try SwitchResX instead. I think that's what I used when I set up my Mac Mini. My KVM doesn't understand 16:10 resolutions and so doesn't send the DDC for them to the Mac, so I didn't get the resolution I wanted.

Caution! This tool uses the dreaded APE. Do not - I repeat - do not - attempt OS X upgrades with this installed. It will fubar your system. Updates seem fine but be careful - APE has a habit of hooking into undocumented things, and since they're undocumented, Apple can (and will) remove them. How very kind of them.
