| Ok, I've got sound working in RH 9.0.93, and most else is OK - getting
used to the 'look' but ...
I can not get the bell to sound in a console/shell window in X
Ctrl G just turns the icon for the shell inot a bell shape for a second or
two and nothing. The bell is set to system notification but there is no
enrty in the system notifications bit of sounds for the shell
So what do I do ??
Regads and TIA
Nick

See if any or all of following work. If not check mixer settings for
speaker volume (which refers to pc speaker, not main volume):
echo -ne \\a
echo -ne "\a"
perl -e "print qq(\a);"

Try
$ xset q
look for 'bell percent:'
can be changed with
$ xset b 100
