So, >Do you know of what could be causing this, or how I should try to fix >it? this is REALLY off the top of my head and just a suggestion. i have no idea how the kernel works, or how the sound works, or how the kernel interracts with the sound, so i have no clue how/if this'll work. anyway, when you're in X why don't you try a: user# xset b off (where "user#" is your prompt). i don't like a computer that beeps and boops at me so i put this in my .xinitrc (or was it my .fvwm2rc?) anyway, instead of beeping the console will flash (i.e. no beep) xset takes a number of parameters (one of which is required to get the mouse to track at a decent rate) to allow you to adjust a number of things about your environment. on of the things you can change is the bell setting. the command above turns the bell off. give it a whirl, tell us what happens! best regards, trevor woerner ------------------------------------------------------------ ...and now, ladies and gentelmen, for your entertainment the band will play "Somewhere My Love Lies Sleeping" with a male chorus... --- Groucho Marx [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
