System: NetBSD road-runner.unseen.edu 1.4A NetBSD 1.4A (ROAD-RUNNER) #209: Sun May 2 16:32:09 EDT 1999 nathanw@road-runner.unseen.edu:/b/nbsd/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROAD-RUNNER i386


>Description:
A pitch specified for the X bell with "xset b" is interpreted in some
inverse fashion. That is, larger arguments to "xset b" produce lower-pitch
beeps, and vice versa. 
This behaviour started when I switched to using wscons.

>How-To-Repeat:
This may be i386-specific; I don't have any other systems running X.

run X, get some sort of terminal window that passes beeps.
	echo ^G
	xset q
note bell pitch (typically 400).
	xset b 50 <double reported pitch, say 800>
	echo ^G
note that the bell pitch is lower, not higher.

Check if it's totally or only partially wscons's fault by switching
to a virtual terminal:
	echo ^G
	wsconsctl bell.pitch
	wsconsctl -w bell.pitch=<double whatever was just reported>
	echo ^G
note that the pitch increases as it should.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
