Trivial Feature Request: beep()

[Harold L Hunt]

Brian,

What version of Cygwin/XFree86 do you have?

If you've got Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0 installed via Cygwin's setup.exe (you can
check the version string by running 'xdpyinfo' in an xterm) then the keyboard
bell should work.  There was a change in the last few months that fixed the
keyboard bell.

Specifically, it appears that Test54 was the release that first had a working
keyboard bell:
