I believe there is a way to connect external vga card. Most of readynas units has on board unused pci-e slot which can be used for graphics. One thing is necessary: pcie riser cable. It is needed because you have to at least once go inside bios and change boot order and disable onboard flash drive/memory and exclude it from boot order. With riser cable you can connect external graphic card outside readynas box.

Yesm you are right. I had on my mind readynas units based on Intel CPUs. Those units have mostly free pcie slot on board. Even so, there i believe there is no xpenology for arm readynas.
