Any thoughts? Any ideas for tracking it down? Try the following in your .xinitrc to stop the beep in X: xset b off my understanding is that disabling the console beep is implemented for vt/newcons in the stable and/or current branches but not in any release, but will be in 11 when it's released. Others can confirm/disconfirm. I'm in the same position you are in: using vt since I need it for my graphics card (Sandy Bridge). And it's great! Except for the beeps...
