Well, /dev/console is only writable by root.root executed programs, so i
opt'd for /dev/tty.. I can get the file open (with a mode 666 it's no
surprise) but the following code does not produce a tone as expected.

/*
spt.c

*/
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/kd.h>
int main(void)
{
int tfd;
long tone;
tfd=open("/dev/tty", O_RDWR);
if (tfd==-1)
{
printf("Error opening file.\n");
return -1;
}
tone = 0x0fff0fff;
ioctl(tfd, KDMKTONE, tone);
sleep(1);
close(tfd);
return 0;
}

So.. :) What exactly did I miss? I've been tinkering with these few lines
of code for over an hour now.. I'm out of coffee and quite frustrated.
I have tried both /dev/tty and /dev/console both as root and a user to no
avail. I've tried several values for tone, as well as a pointer dereference
to the values (even though documentation doesn't say to.. i had to try.)
Anyhow, thanks for your help.
