Hello misc@ My IBM (Lenovo) X60 laptop heats up considerably and the battery also discharges faster, when I boot into OpenBSD. This does not seem to be the case when I boot it into Windows XP.
The relevant temperature sysctls are: hw.sensors.acpitz0.temp0=73.05 degC (zone temperature) hw.sensors.acpitz1.temp0=72.05 degC (zone temperature) hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=72.00 degC hw.sensors.aps0.temp0=52.00 degC hw.sensors.aps0.temp1=52.00 degC dmesg is put up at http://www.obscure.org/~amunix/tmp/dmesg I did read about SpeedStep, and slowing down the processor so that it consumes less power - so I am going to try it out by tweaking sysctl "hw.cpuspeed" and changing it from 1829 to 1000, but I am not sure if this would solve the problem. Has anyone encountered something similar? If yes, I'd appreciate tips to fix this (apart from the SpeedStepping stuff -- will post my findings. Thanks). -Amarendra
