XF86_S3 X server from the 31 Jan snapshot.
>Description:
The default bell pitch on X is supposed to be 400Hz. Obviously
the sound produced is at a much higther frequency than that.
If you change X bell pitch to a higther value, the tone is lower
(that is, the effect is reversed).
>How-To-Repeat:
in an xterm:
%sh
%set -E # so that <Tab> generates a bell
%xset -q
[...]
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
[...]
%<Tab>
[ notice that the sound produced is not 400Hz ]
%xset b 50 800 100
%xset q
[...]
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 800 bell duration: 100
[...]
%<Tab>
[ notice that the sound produced is not 800Hz, and tone is lower
than when bell pitch==400].
>Fix:
Unknow. Bell worked fine before wscons.
