To get a PC speaker beep from all KDE apps, bring up Control Center, then look for the System Bell item. You want to tell KDE to _not_ use system notification for bell events. I think you uncheck a box to do this. Once you uncheck it, you'll see sliders to adjust the volume, pitch, and duration. Click Apply when you're done. Note that this change will affect only newly launched KDE apps, not ones that are already running. If you want KDE's system notification feature to produce most beeps through your sound card, you can still have konsole use the PC speaker. To do so, bring up the Settings menu, then look at the Bell submenu. One of the options tells konsole to use the PC speaker. If you want to make this your konsole default, select 'Save as default' afterwards. Dave -- Dave Ulrick Email: d-ulrick@xxxxxxx Web: http://www.niu.edu/~ulrick/
