What were you trying to do?
The X server beeped at me.
What's wrong:
It is *way* too loud.
What should have happened:
xset q reports:
Keyboard Control:
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100
A more reasonable beep that is not painful (esp. in a cluster)
would be:
Keyboard Control:
bell percent: 10 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 10
i.e. from "xset b 10 400 10"
