Pcmcia card services will beep when a card is found, and again when its configuration is finished. Try unplugging all your PC cards and rebooting, then plug them in one at a time to verify that this is the source. I've never found it annoying, so I've never looked for a configuration option to disable it....

Do you mean the controls under KDE. This happens before KDE starts up, and I certainly can't find a place in the KDE controls to turn these beeps off. I think the Startux and Jean Francois Bocquet are on the right track with Usbmgr, however with commenting out the "Beep text" in usbmgr.conf I get less beeps, but still some. I have been getting about five or six and now I am getting about three. I might try narrowing it down by turning off services and then try to find the script which is the culprit. SUSE I shouldn't have to do this to gain control of my own system. Linux is all about control - that is why I switched from Windoze. On Monday 30 July 2001 22:01, Faessen Jean-Paul wrote:
