Hi there fabulous OpenBSD people,
I have recently installed a snapshot from 1st February on my shiny,
somewhat new ThinkPad X230. Everything works wonderfully (almost!), and I
am thoroughly enjoying learning about OpenBSD. However I have one very
minor issue that I was hoping to get some feedback on.
The laptop runs at roughly the same temperature as when running under Linux
and Windows (typically between 35-50C depending on load), however, whereas
under Windows and Linux the fans remain completely dormant (0 rpm) most of
the time (only really kicking in once temperatures exceed 50C for prolonged
periods) - on OpenBSD the fans will constantly spin up and down, seemingly
haphazardly - sometimes all the way up to 3500rpm - whilst the temperatures
remain at comfortable levels, and the CPU usage is utterly minimal.
For instance over the last hour my fan has gone from 0 - 3000rpm numerous
times despite $ sysctl hw.sensors reporting constant temperatures between
35-44C, and CPU usage remainly consistently below 10% on all cores. I
wouldn't really mind that much, except the fan in the X230 is particularly
loud and obnoxious above 2000rpm and draws quite a lot of unwanted
attention in lectures!
I understand that there is nothing analogous to tpfancontrol under OpenBSD,
or any other way of controlling the fan speed. Therefore, my question is
does anyone else have this generation of ThinkPad running OpenBSD, and is
this typical, or perhaps just a recent regression in -current? Also, is
anyone doing any work in this area, and if so, is there anything I could do
to help? I'm only a 1st year CS student so I very much doubt my shitty
programming skills would be of much value (other than as comedy!), but I'd
really like to help in any other way I can - ie, testing patches, etc.
Finally, if other's are using this generation of ThinkPad, I wondered what
BIOS versions you have and whether downgrading my BIOS may help (I'm on the
latest 2.66), or perhaps if turning off hyperthreading or multiprocessor
support in the BIOS (and just using the GENERIC kernel) could have an
effect?
Anyway, here is my dmesg and sysctl output (both bsd.sp & bsd,mp - oddly
the sp kernel produces different sysctl sensor values - why is that?). If
there's anything else I can provide, please let me know.
Kind Regards,
Toby
P.S. I have tried apmd with both -A and -L flags. This does lower the
temperature, but doesn't affect fanspeed.
