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
