Other distros make this a module, making it easy to turn it off via module blacklisting on those systems. Up until several months ago, I used an IBM ThinkPad that had a master mute button that also turned off the PC speaker. As a result, I didn't mind if the PC speaker driver was on, and I actually wanted to hear beeps when it was not muted. Now I have a Dell Latitude D620 from work, and the mute button does not mute the PC speaker :-(. I had to compile the kernel to exclude PC speaker support. The PC speaker on this Dell Latitude is extremely loud! :-( As an alternative, I suppose that it could be possible to expose the PC speaker's enabled/disabled status as an ALSA mixer in the kernel. Some sound chips already do that from the sound chip's perspective, though having this capability exposed from the PC speaker's perspective could be interesting. Should that be filed as a child to this item as a feature request? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
