I recently picked up a cheapo HP laptop which was born with a slight defect of character, it was running WindoxsWP. I played with that OS for a bit, while waiting for the 4.5 ISO's to download The defect was quickly resolved with a pair of 4.5 floppies. After installation, I noticed that the laptop was running hotter than when it was running its previous OS. Considerably hotter, even the screen was hot and I was using consoles, not X. I had enabled APM via /stand/sysinstall. The only visible fan, which spun under the previous OS, is still. Has anyone else on the list had similar problem with Athlon-4 based laptops in specific or HP laptops in general? Does using console mode cause laptop screens to overheat? Am I missing something additional that I should do to the APM setup?
