| |
Let's face it, that nasty PC speaker is annoying as hell. *BEEEP BEEEP* Most people that I know have already physically disconnected the thing from their computer. I don't want to do that though. Can we make a file in /proc/sys/kernel, possibly called 'speaker' which will store a bolean integer used to enable/disable the PC speaker?
I have a patch here that was originally made for 2.1.21 [I think] by Aaron Tiensivu (tiensivu@pilot.msu.edu), and have updated it to work on 2.1.88. If anybody would like me to send them the patch let me know.
I think /proc/sys/kernel/speaker should be added to the kernel. Really all it requires is another addition to the sysctl interface, and an extra integer in the kernel )speaker_sound) which holds the current state of the speaker.
I'd appreciate any feedback that anybody has on this topic.
