I am using an X terminal whose maximum beep volume is quite loud, so I set it very low (20%) to make it comfortable. But Emacs, in XTfeep() in x11term.c, calls XBell (XXdisplay,50); which makes the volume be 20 - (20 * 50) / 100 + 50 = 60 percent, three times as loud as I want. Is there any reason why Emacs is overriding the user's choice of beep volume? If not, it should call XBell with 0 as the second argument. -- Joe Weening Computer Science Dept. weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Stanford University
