> difference between my puter and everyone elses at work!). In the interests of helping /even/ those who like to use vi in text- only modes ;), a look at drivers/char/console.c and an strace of setterm -blank 20 shows the following: Set the pitch of the beep: E[10;1000] where 'E' is an escape, the brackets are regular square brackets, the '10' is the command to set the beep, and '1000' is the hz of the beep tone. (E.g.: % perl -e 'print "\033[10;1000]";' % (now console has a different beep) ) If you wish to change the duration of the beep, the command is 11 instead of 10, and its argument is the duration in milliseconds.

You know - the one you get in vi all the time ;) If you use X, you can put something like xset b 50 1760 20 in your .xsession or .xinitrc file. "man xset". If you're not using X, and your biggest complaint is the beep, then there's something wrong with your brain (but then you already said you use vi ;) HTH, -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Default Beep
There is an app that lets you do this. I read it in one of the Debian packaged howtos. It is the same program that lets you change all kinds of low level stuff. Like console colors and what not.
