I modprobe'd pcspkr and raised the "PC Speaker" volume with alsamixer,
but I still can't get the classic "bell" from the console or from xterm.

Anyone know what else is needed?

TIA...

It's not about the hardware: it used to work on RHEL.

A speaker?

I can't help but wonder if they bother with the speaker in recent
computers, given an expectation that most people will have external
speakers.

Many (most?) new computers do not have the little speaker any more.
Quite irritating to me. The console beep is a "must have" for me. There
are ways around it, but it just doesn't sound the same. Bastards.
