Please see this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123927 Essentially, the PC speaker has been disabled long time ago and it does not work by default on Fedora. Some applications actually require the PC speaker in order to provide full functionality - like X-Chat beeping on certain messages. There is a fairly simple workaround, just run this command once: "/sbin/modprobe pcspkr" then add the same command to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local to make the change permanent across reboots. However, it needs to get a real solution, not just a workaround. If you feel the same, please add your comments to the bug report mentioned above. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
