Hi,
"xset b" controls bel volume, pitch and duration (from "man
xset"). Does it work on the same bell/beep as pommed, or these are
different beeps?
Same beep, the tone frequency is passed along to the beeper
device. Pommed doesn't use any of that, though.
Ok, attached the last version of README I propose. Feel free to modify
it if you wish.
Cheers,
