Now that you mention it, I've never gotten my Asus Eee 900A to produce a system beep/bell, nor has a friend who runs Linux on his. I just assumed the machine didn't support the old-fashioned system beep. I can't even make it beep at the BIOS level, by e.g. entering an incorrect BIOS password. Is there a way to diagnose this? I'd hate to ask you to start digging through the code if the answer is, "the hardware doesn't work that way." -- Joe Gidi j...@entropicblur.com
