You might have misunderstood me, the PulseAudio x11-bell works fine for other apps (e.g. hitting backspace in an empty terminal). After searching a bit i am pretty sure XBell will not generate the required event (XkbBellNotify) which is required to get the bell sound to a "sound card". I really think fltk should use XkbBell if available and only fallback to XBell as they do in xterm (and probably most other apps) : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520405#15 http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-xorg/app/xterm.git;a=commitdiff;h=5cc6c9ac6341aa3b67f68c5980c6d0349b5cfef0 _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
