Ah, this would confirm my testing issues so far. My confusion comes from the wording (below) in the file http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/io/conskbd.c. Looks ioctls commands like KBD_CMD_BELL_ENABLE and KBD_CMD_BELL_DISABLE are required.
Thanks Doug --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 3.1) for KBD_CMD_NOBELL 1262 * there's no beep in USB and PS2 keyboard, 1263 * this ioctl actually disables the beep on 1264 * system mainboard. Note that all the cloned 1265 * messages sent down to lower queues do the 1266 * same job for system mainboard. Therefore, 1267 * even if we fail to send this ioctl to most 1268 * of lower queues, the beep still would be 1269 * disabled. So, no trouble exists here. This message posted from opensolaris.org
