Hi, Earlier I asked how I could arrange a bell tone on my CentOS box. I have pcspkr loaded, I can play music over my boxes but the system beep or bell is missing. Seeveral people commented on gnome issues, but I'm using only text-mode. Whe I go down with the cursor e.g. on the command-line I dont hear anything. Is there a way to switch the bell/beep on???

The only way I know to alter the bell is using the xset or setterm command. Try running this to see if it makes the bell audible. If it does, add the line to your .bashrc file.

setterm -bfreq 300 -blength 30

Maybe do the opposite of what they advise here:   http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/text/Visual-Bell or try:   http://www.hengartner.biz/archive/documents/howto-disable-bash-visual-bell-i...
