Hello! With every 2.6 kernel I tried the system speaker on my Alpha produces a rather unpleasant high pitched tone instead of the normal system beep. This is because in p|cspkr.c the calculation of the counter values is incorrectly based on CLOCK_TICK_RATE. To solve this problem I came up with these tree patches: 1/3: introduce PIC_TICK_RATE constant. It seems this is not always the same value. 2/3: use PIC_TICK_RATE in *spkr.c and some other places where the PIC is directly programmed. 3/3: use CLOCK_TICK_RATE where 1193180 was used in timing calculations. Tested on Alpha, compile & boot-tested on i386 (unrelated LVM problems here) Arch maintainers please have a look whether I got the constants right or if your architecture has a PIC at all. Comments welcome.
