[SOLVED] Mac Mini and second display via thunderbolt

Hi,

My setup is the following:
1. Mac Mini.
2. Philips display connected via HDMI and works great.
3. LG display connect via VGA-to-Thunderbolt adapter.

I can't make LG display to work in Archlinux, it's just not detected. However, after some random time it appears.
It works in Linux Mint.

Could you please give me any hints where to look?

Unfortunately, i can't easily change my setup since it's at work.

EDIT: I figured out that the display is working in older kernels, for instance in 3.16. As i see the thunderbolt support was added to linux kernels in 3.17.

EDIT2: Okay, i found out that there are changes related to Thunderbolt in 4.3. I installed the kernel from testing repo and it has resolved my issue .
