*laptop: thinkpad x230, i7 processor, 8G ram, intel hd 4000 gpu*
*New OpenBSD user with a fresh install.*

My user account is created from the install process and has "staff" class -
though i haven't increased the datasize-cur, datasize-max for staff yet.
Additionally, apmd has been set to -A as suggested by the faq.

Basically, whenever I play a video, CPU0, CPU2(shown in top) spike up to
about 30-58%. The heatsink/fan/ventilation area of the laptop gets
extremely hot.

Videos buffer pretty slowly, and most importantly, when I am watching a
live stream via players such as mpv, it's basically unwatchable because the
video stops every 3-4 seconds.

*Here is a log file of messages from mpv while playing a stream: *

*here is my dmesg:*

*here is my Xorg.0.log:*
http://ix.io/21Bb

*Here are the firmwares that have been downloaded during installation:*
intel-firmware-20190918v0 microcode update binaries for Intel CPUs
inteldrm-firmware-20181218 firmware binary images for inteldrm(4) driver
iwn-firmware-5.11p1 firmware binary images for iwn(4) driver
uvideo-firmware-1.2p3 firmware binary images for uvideo(4) driver
vmm-firmware-1.11.0p2 firmware binary images for vmm(4) driver

*Is this an issue with the system somehow using the modesetting driver
instead of the inteldrm* *driver*? if so, why is that and how should i best
remedy this problem? I thought old thinkpads are generally fully supported
by OpenBSD?

Anyways, if anyone could help i would really appreciate it!

*and if anyone is using this exact machine (thinkpad x230), could you also
recommend some of the other optimizations you have done for this machine? *

thanks in advance!
