I noticed this behavior too, and it really irritated me until I figured out how to fix it. In my case, I had a line in .xinitrc that read: xset b 50 440 100 #xset b[ell] [volume] [pitch] [duration] Apparently, in previous versions of OpenBSD and/or X.Org/Xenocara the wsconsctl options overrode that. I fixed it my case by changing that line to the following: xset b 0 440 100 I'm not sure if that counts as a "fix" or or "quick hack", but it stopped the beeping for me. -- Bryan
