Handling beep

[James S. <jsi...@tr...>]

   A question on how to approach this problem. The input api has the
ablity to send EV_SND events to a input device. Now I like to impliment
this for the console system via kd_mksound. At present only the sun
keyboard supports injecting sound which is apart of the keyboard driver.
For the ix86 platform we have the PC speaker. Now the PC speaker is apart
of the region the i8042 chipset uses but has nothing to do with the PS/2
keyboard or mouse.
   The question is should the beeper be a seperate device and we have a
hook for it in the console system or do we make it apart of the keyboard
driver and use the keyboards hook?
