Last week I had a nice short beep. After I made an update on
Saturday the setting was is longer respected. I can't find any
x11-xserver-utils package in the logs so I assume xset is still the
same as prior to the update. Looks like something else changed so
xset's settings are ignored. Maybe this was caused by updating one
of the other xserver packages. Since last update I have
[UPGRADE] xserver-common 2:1.7.4-2 -> 2:1.7.5-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg 1:7.4+4 -> 1:7.5+3
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.5-1 -> 2:1.7.5-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-dev 2:1.7.4-2 -> 2:1.7.5-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.2.5-1 -> 1:2.3.2-3
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-joystick 1:1.4.1-1 -> 1:1.5.0-2
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.3.2-4 -> 1:1.4.0-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1:1.4.0-4 -> 1:1.5.0-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.14-2 -> 1:2.1.17-1
Unfortunately I cleaned up /var/cache/apt/archives some time ago, so
I don't have the older version of these packages any more.
Bye,
Wolfgang
