IBM X60 heating up considerably when boot into OpenBSD
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

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/amar/site-specific/builds/kernel What and why did you change the kernel? try with generic. try enabling/disabling acpi/apm... I get the same lack of GENERIC.MP in my dmesg from following the commands in the section: Variation on above process: Read-only source tree within chapter 5 of the FAQ. I haven't altered the conf at all but both boxes that i rebuilt yesterday have lost that designation in the first line of dmesg. Thought it was a bit odd but they seem fine. mike

You can still read the man page.
