Hi all,

I use Debian on my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop.  By default, the laptop
produces a very loud, ugly, and annoying beep when, for example, you use the
tab completion in the console, etc.  I used to disable the beep by adding
"blacklist pcspkr" in /etc/modprob.d/blacklist in Etch.  It worked in Etch
and even until recently in Lenny (I have now the most recent snapshot of
Lenny).  But this is not working in Lenny anymore.  I use "lsmod | grep
pcspkr" to see if the module has been loaded but it is not there.  When I
used "modprobe pcspkr -v" it says that the module has been loaded (only
shows a path to the module file with no errors printed) but "lsmod..." does
not show anything loaded.

Can anyone help me disable the PC speaker like before?  It really is
annoying.  Thanks in advance.

Nima
