Hi, To see if this would help my laptop - but nope. I'm not sure what exactly is going on here but fan is running at full pelt, and it's uncomfortably hot. The strange thing is my laptop is mostly sitting pretty idle:
A very average / typical output of top: CPU0 states: 1.2% user, 0.0% nice, 1.0% system, 1.0% interrupt, 96.8% idle CPU1 states: 5.2% user, 0.0% nice, 1.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 93.6% idle CPU2 states: 4.0% user, 0.0% nice, 1.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 94.6% idle CPU3 states: 1.8% user, 0.0% nice, 2.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 96.0% idle I have tried enabling apmd to see if it will sort this out for me: apmd_flags="-A" But it doesn't, or at least if it does it is not noticeable to me. I haven't really been using OpenBSD other than on my desktop - so installing on this Thinkpad is pretty new. I am used to Debian on this, and maybe I'm comparing or something but this doesn't really seem right. I am reluctant to think this is a hardware issue just due to the timing of just switching from Debian. I have an SSD in this Thinkpad - putting a regular spinner HDD in Debian would make it go like this, fans / heat / quicker battery drain. I just don't want to take OpenBSD off of this cause I have a nice setup with XFCE (Gnome is my ultimate favourite with Debian - but the performance of it on this machine with OpenBSD is nowhere near as snappy or responsive as I am used to) If anyone has any experience with this issue and can maybe help in some way, I'll be very appreciative.
