I've seen boards with speakers mounted on them and no way to remove it or disable it on the hardware side. My usual approach is to disable/blacklist the kernel module that handles the speaker. Anyway, I don't like beeps either and I don't think we should annoy users with them. I proposed a patch to remove all beeps. or introduce some FEATURES="-audible" that disables all beeps? My terminal translates beeps into flashes, and sometimes that's ok. Screen actually says "Bell in Window X". I could live without them, but they may serve a purpose. The beep tokens are removed here: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=46cafb3996d827d208d486b85c7f4248a6e8c826 (In reply to comment #2) > or introduce some FEATURES="-audible" that disables all beeps? Maybe a new elog config setting that triggers beeps for certain functions, such as eqawarn? This is fixed in 2.1.9.1 and 2.2_rc76. |
