RE: 2.6.0 kernel compile overview-the unfolding saga

[James Miller <jamtat@mailsnare.net>]

Ok.  It turns out the system speaker is enabled in the .config file:

# Input Device Drivers
#
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y  
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SUNKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_XTKBD is not set
# CONFIG_KEYBOARD_NEWTON is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_JOYSTICK is not set
# CONFIG_INPUT_TOUCHSCREEN is not set
CONFIG_INPUT_MISC=y
CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=y
# CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT is not set

I looked through that file for other entries relevant to system speaker 
functioning, but nothing jumped out at me (not that I'd know what to make 
of it if it did).  I also searched a bit online for "system speaker" or 
"console beep", narrowed further by "2.6", but didn't find much helpful.  
As a next step, just to convince myself that there aren't maybe some 
issues regarding the system speaker using the 2.6 kernel, can I ask here 
if anyone using that kernel can get system speaker output?  echo -e "\a" - 
is the traditional command line way of making the system speaker sound.  
If you run this kernel and can report results of this command (or whatever 
else you might do to sound the system speaker), I would apreciate it.

Thanks, James
