Bonsoir,
I found how to switch off the beep for a user, I did not find how to
stop it for the system: everytime the fedora splash screen comes up at
boot time you are able to disturb everybody working peacefully in the
library where you have come to work...
Why these things are not switched off by default?
there is kernel module rsponsible for this: pcspkr
in /etc/modprobe.conf add:
alias pcspkr dummy
I'm amazed: it is difficult to get a laptop suspend or hibernate, it is
Yes, wouldn't a consistent, standard mechanism for suspend/resume that all
manufacturers subscribe to be nice?
difficult to have system-network-config available for a normal user (see
my other posts) but someone somewhere is able to make you sweat your
NetworkManager (see responses to your other posts).
guts out with a kernel module which is totally useless!
Does your laptop not have a mute switch or volume control? Doesn't *that*
seem like the real design flaw?
Also, at some point I recall having the exact opposite problem. The
pcspkr module was not loaded by default and I had to add it to
/etc/sysconfig/modules/ to get the beep when I wanted it (note that your
opinion about the usefulness/uselessness of the module is just that: your
opinion). That might have been before FC6, though.
