Now what?
Do you have any other x-terminal-emulator installed? I tried in
xfce-terminal and it doesn't beep. Perhaps there's an xset setting to
allow audible beeps. Look at the xset man page, especially the -b
option.
I do: xterm. 'xset b 100' sets the bell on 100%. 'xset q' shows the bell
on at 100%. 'echo -e "\a"' does nothing.
Unfortunatly for you, the computer that I'm directly attached to me is
on the floor below (monitor, keyboard, and mouse cables run through the
floor) so I can only hear the beep if the room is quiet. It is noisy
right now. Perhaps you will have some luck.
That's an interesting hookup: I'd like that, but where do you get the
mon/mouse/kbd cables that long? I'd put the noise in the next room here :-)
You could try the GUI interface to xset; something like gtkxset or
gxset.
It's gxset. Shows the same as xset q. Beep me up Scotty does nothing.
Batting zero here.
