No, sorry. We did a bunch of research on the shrillest, most annoying tone we could fine and it's hard-coded ;). --S -Original Message- From: Shawn Walker Subj: [request-sponsor] Re: disable console bell in the kernel Date: Sat Jul 1, 2006 11:22 am Size: 1K To: request-sponsor at opensolaris.org > > Doug Scott wrote: > The appropriate ioctl > KBD_CMD_BELL and KBD_CMD_NOBELL are already in > sys/kbd.h. > > Those ioctls don't make it so the bell doesn't > sound > in the future - they > are used for sounding the bell.

The bell exists on other operating systems at the console, but I don't remember being nearly as loud as it is in Solaris. I don't suppose there is already a way to do that, or a way that could be finagled in with this, is there? :) -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ request-sponsor mailing list request-sponsor at opensolaris.org --- message truncated ---

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
