VGA -> RF isn't going to happen without expensive equipment, if such equipment even exists.

Maybe build your own VGA cable using CAT5

Tape the CAT5 cable to the COAX cable (include some cabling for 3.5mm audio jack) and pull the COAX out of the opposite end, so the CAT5 replaces the COAX, then do your soldering.
