Hi guys!
I have searched a long time for a method to disable the internal
speaker for every application, every daemon and so on.
With the help of [] I have found the right file :
drivers/char/vt.c
Now I have made some changes to this file (from 2.4.4 kernel).
I wanted to ask you whether you can/will put this feature into the next
kernel release (f.i. 2.4.5).
Below is a description of what I did, hope I changed the right
files and didn't brake any kernel structure...
That's also the reason I don't send a config.in diff.
Regards,
Nico
1. Changed vt.c (diff attached)
2. Changed arch/{i386,alpha,ppc,arm,mips}/config.in :
if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
bool ' Disable the PC-Speaker' CONFIG_DISABLE_PC_SPEAKER
fi
(should be the last item of the 'General Setup' Menu)
3. Changed init/main.c (diff attached)
4. wrote text for Configure.help:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disables the Internal (PC) speaker
CONFIG_DISABLE_PC_SPEAKER
Whenever you don't want your computer to be able to beep,
choose this option. Not selected, the computer will be able
to beep.
Attention: This will not catch the beeps made directly by the
BIOS (mostly this happens when using a notebook and pressing
special key codes). To disable this "BIOS-beep" enter the
BIOS and change it there.
If you are unsure, say N to this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you allow this thing to get into the kernel, could
Axel Bold (axel@uni-paderborn.de as found in Configure.help)
put this text into the Configure.help file ?
