What's New in the Solaris 9 9/04 Operating Environment

Xsun Keyboard Bell Option

The Xsun server can now be configured to play a tone through an audio device. This option replaces ringing the keyboard bell when a program emits a beep. By using this option, users can customize the volume, pitch, and length of beeps through the Xset program or CDE control panel. Users adjust the beep to match their hearing ability and personal preferences.

See the description of the -audiobell option in the Xsun(1) man page for further details.
