Since upgrading Debian Lenny to Squeeze, I've lost terminal beep (Gnome
terminal or xterm) under Gnome. This is whether I log on in front of the

Tried so far:
$lsmod |grep pcspkr

from/to MS Office. They found that changing the font to a particular
serif font got the formatting almost exact. Trouble is I can't remember
which Linux font it was, I'll keep looking

My proper reply to the list is held up because of a misconfiguration on

Well, end of an era - I've just disconnected a 1989 NEC Multisync 3D -
22 years of continuous use and into it's fourth decade of existence!
Must be a record. Only reason I've pensioned it off is because it's 110
