I have Lenny 5.0.4 from DVD. I am using blackbox window manager and bbkeys.
I am mostly working in xterm, screen (end emacs under screen). As I am working with some program it often happens that I 'forget' my finger on the Shift key pressed. If I hold it pressed for several seconds pc speaker beep once. If I repeat same mistake more times in a row it beep in different tones. And finally the keyboard becomes unusable - it beeps after any keystroke but none of the programs running respond to keyboard input. Only remedy then is to use mouse and exit blackbox - restart is not enough - it has to go all the way to gdm login screen. After I login again (actually autologin) I can continue with my work thanks to screen. Only programs requiring X are gone. My guess is that beeping is done by X server - because I have set visual bell in screen. It probably should be noted that I am using keyboard for mouse emulation too. But when the keyboard start beeping on every keystroke I must use real mouse to exit blackbox. All this was happening in etch and sarge too.
