Hi guys!

Some of the people of the kernel mailing list told me to
build up the disable pcspeaker support with sysctl.

It is done and works perfectly!

Will you apply the patch to kernel 2.4.5 ?
If so, can anybody or can I change the config.in files ?

Regards,

Nico

I am working on the line problem!


p.s.: overview:

1. Changed drivers/char/vt.c (diff attached)
2. Changed arch/{i386,alpha,ppc,arm,mips}/config.in :

if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
   bool '  Disable the PC-Speaker' CONFIG_DISABLE_PC_SPEAKER
fi

(should be the last item of the 'General Setup' Menu, I don't attach
diffs
for all those different config.in files)

3. support for sysctl: changes in kernel/{sys.c,sysctl.c} and
include/linux/
   sysctl.h (diffs attached)

4. wrote text for Configure.help:
