Hi there,
I recently upgrade my system from 10.1-RELEASE to 10.2-RELEASE, and after the upgrade my fan spins almost all the time, especially when I fire up Firefox or Chromium, eventually causing my battery to drain much faster. I did not have this issue beforehand, I mean while using 10.1-RELEASE. I installed different desktop environments (WindowMaker) to replicate the problem and verified that the issue happens whenever I run Chromium or Firefox.
I tried installing Opera and, surprisingly, it does not cause such an issue,. Although, being a nice browser, it has its own problems, such as not opening forums.FreeBSD.org (complaining about some security policies etc...) or being a bit sluggish in opening the web pages compared to Chromium
I am using Mate desktop and all software, including the third party ones installed with pkg(8), are up to date. My laptop is an Toshiba Portege R830, I got acpi_toshiba(4) installed and powerd(8) running.
Any recommendations or suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks
