Help.
I have tried everything to remove thunderbugs which are causing havoc
behind my screen. Small black mites have taken over xorg-server!
rm -r thunderbugs
I'm having trouble understanding what the issue is. I assume you're
not talking about insects stuck on the TFT panel of your monitor. That
what exactly are you talking about?
I was wondering the same thing. I was to chicken to ask because I
thought it might be some fancy new software that I haven't heard about
yet. Could it be thunderbird? That's the only thing I could find in the
portage tree.
At least I wasn't the only one confused. Sort of had that a lot here
lately. :/
Well, I guess it's really thunderbugs then :-P Sometimes very small
insects get inside the monitor, and get fried when they walk on the TFT
panel. They're visible and pretty much equivalent to a bunch of dead
pixels. It's virtually impossible to get them out again.
This is the reason I never bought a TFT monitor with cooling slits on
it; only tightly closed ones with external power supplies. No insects
can get in that way.
