Hello.
I have a minor (but annoying) issue under X on FreeBS 8.1 (only!). Wherever I put "xset -b" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc (the one I start X from), it is ignored. I don't use xset anywhere else after that point (like in profile or login files). The following has no effect on terminal bell - snipp of (a very long) /etc/x11/xinit/xinitrc:
I have to execute it manually after X start. I wonder why/who/where resets the bell default or why this command is ignored in xinitrc. I didn't remember having that problem before (I might have forgottent though). I use this method (among others) to start X under several different OS, other BSDs and different Linux, disabling the bell in xinitrc when necessary (OpenBSD does that in /etc/wsconsctl.conf) and it seems that I'm having that issue under FreeBSD 8.1 only.
I can live with that but would like to understand ... and so fix it.
Any idea?
