As many of you have pointed out to me, there is an option to 'setterm' to
do this. Unfortunately, I have not gotten the termainl settings to get
stored so that a termianl reset (i.e. the 'reset' command, or mingetty
reinitilizing the terminal) would preserve the beepless state. I did try
'setterm -bfreq 0 -store' and many other combinations.
I beileve that this patch is small enough that it doesn't really cause a
potential problem in the kernel. Also, there's the added advantage of
security. For example, let's say you admin the computers in a library, you
wouldn't want all the troublemakers that know Linux turning the beeping
back on :) The proc interface is a way for the administrator to set a
global state for the PC speaker which will stay under any circumstance
(except for sound directly sent to the driver).
I have included the patch in this message for those who are interrested
and also for those who wonder what 'exactly' I'm talking about.
As before, I appreciate any feedback
