Nope. Two tabs in a terminal window produces no sound. I am using Gnome terminal, and I can't find anything in preferences that might affect this. >Have you tried (as root): >rmmod pcspkr sudo rmmod pcspkr Error: Module pcspkr is not currently loaded >Unless you like monotonous beeps (I don't, I'm biased, gnashes teeth), >you can blacklist the pcspkr module so it doesn't load itself after >each reboot.

But in any event, I wouldn't want to turn off the speaker in case something really serious happened. It seems much more sensible to figure out what is causing these loud bleeps and fix whatever the problem is. Since my first post I have had one more loud bleep. I have to stop them. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
