Hi Lars

The solution Steven has mentioned, is not suitable in all cases.

You (rather Greg) asked: "Why do you need this driver as a module?"

Let me ask: Why must the driver be compiled in static?

It's really frustrating:
- getting a kernel-update from OpenSuse also retrieving the sources
- only changing the PCSPKR-flag in .config
- having a one to three hours recompilation
only not to have the annoying BEEP.

All in all it's about 5 hours to get a kernel-update installed and working.


So the only thing I'd beg you do:
Change a 'Y' to an 'M'.
I suppose the pcspkr-module would be loaded if not configured otherwise, isn't
it?

Is there really so much work behind it?
