RE: ?how to stop beeps at X startup
The scripts that start your dm are not in any initrc file. they are located
in /etc/init.d (eg: gdm,kdm, xdm) etc. they are linked to the appropriate
run level "rc" directory (eg. /etc/rc5.d). the reason it shows the "#do not
start" messages is because you picked gdm as your preferred dm. don't
remember the exact file to change it ( I think it's something like
/etc/X11/preferred_dm). so, if you want to check out how gdm is invoked,
check /etc/init.d/gdm script. Make sure you make a backup of the original
_before_ you start changing it.
aside from this semi-related information, I can't really help you w/ the
beep question. sorry.
