Re: quick question about turning the annoying beep off in X
* twig les: Magic! I never bothered to check if putting the command *before* wmaker in ~/.xinitrc would make a difference. Thnx. The WindowMaker process typically *replaces* the shell interpreting the .xinitrc script, you can notice that by the exec keyword in front of it. Thus everything after the exec statement will be ignored. By the way, there is another solution to disable the beep, which is independant of X11, works also in the console: $ echo set bell-style visible ~/.inputrc When bash starts, the readline library reads ~/.inputrc. For csh I don't know... And there is a global setting for disabling the system bell in the Gnome Sound Desktop Preferences if you are using Gnome. In Gnome Terminal as well in the profile edition dialog. Best regards, -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/ pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Putting it in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx had predictably bad results. So anyone know the correct file for this command? You could try ~/.xsession, although I think that might only work when you run xdm. If all else fails, you could just call it like xset b off /dev/null although that, too, is a bit of an ugly hack (if it ever generates output that you *do* care about, you won't see it.) -Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
