Well, it *seems* that I cannot get a bell to sound on any of the
systems I can get my hands on today. 2 XS (F7, based) desktop
machines, 3 different laptops (running F9, Hardy), no bell on
ambiguous autocompletion, no audible response to echo -en '\007' on
any tty. Nothing obvious in termcap/terminfo (I'm not too handy with
those but no 'vb' that I can see).
Hmmm. pcspkr.ko is loaded in all of them.
And the web is full of advise on how to *disable* it, so I guess
modern linuxen have disabled it en-masse, using some trick I can't
spot right now. The obvious place is termcap/terminfo, but nothing
there... Ah, grumble.
ideas?

Some earlier versions of Fedora including Fedora 7 had it disabled in
the kernel level because of the number of complaints and bug reports we
got. I am not sure there is a easy way to enable that again in those
kernels.
I think it was enabled again by default in Fedora 8 along with detailed
instructions in the release notes to disable it which helped. That is
the same for Fedora 9 too.

Good to hear :-) - I've added a 'todo' bug entry to retry with F9 once
we upgrade - http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7902 . It probably doesn't
work on the F9s I have here because they are laptops which don't seem
to have the hw for it.
Thanks for clearing up the mistery.
