Wow; the stuff I've never heard about:-) --I just tried spkrtest
and have no /dev/speaker.
The short answer [Guess] is no, I dont think so. If getting the
keys to have an auditory feedback with beeps or shorter clicks were
that easy, it would have been done after 15 years. Even Linux
lacks this--and I'd bet Minux too.
What I've got to do is pick up where I kwit ten years ago with the
kernel driver code and drop the the code to make the speaker-audio
create tiny, brief clicks, preferably low, thunky sounds like ye
ancient IBM Selectrics.
