<para>The system bell or beep is a feature of the X server, which
|
|
attempts to make good use of the available hardware.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&tde; normally doesn't use the system bell; instead using its
|
|
own system notifications, which could include log entries, message
|
|
popups, or its own beep. You can configure these in the
|
|
<guilabel>System Notifications</guilabel> &kcontrol; module.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>It isn't always possible for the X server to actually make
|
|
a beep sound with exactly the parameters selected due to hardware
|
|
limitations. For example, on most PCs, volume control is not very good
|
|
so the X server seems to fake low volume with a reduced duration of
|
|
the sound. Thus, if the settings don't seem to do anything, this is
|
|
because the X server and/or the hardware don't support anything
|
|
better.</para></note>

|

<para>Users are able to set the following parameters for the bell:</para>
