Apparently a recent FC5 update has enabled my internal PC speaker.
The resultant beeping from shell tab completion and such is driving me
nuts. Searching for a solution, I found a post on fedora-devel-list
suggesting to blacklist the module. For reference, an excerpt from
this post follows.

Blacklist the module.
echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprob.d/blacklist

I tried the blacklist approach, but the module still gets loaded and
the beeping continues, at least until I manually remove it with "rmmod
pcspkr".
Some config info:
[root@chipmunk ~]# uname -a
Linux chipmunk.rodent.net 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp #1 SMP Sat Oct 14
17:15:35 EDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@chipmunk ~]# tail /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
blacklist tdfxfb
blacklist virgefb
blacklist vga16fb
# ISDN - see bugs 154799, 159068
blacklist hisax
blacklist hisax_fcpcipnp
# disable annoying pc speaker beeping
blacklist pcspkr
Any ideas on how to disable the speaker by preventing the module
from being loaded in the first place?
