Hi all We are using some old SUN Monitors which won't display anything until the OS is up and running, supplying the correct sync. To let users know, when to select from the (unvisible, but known) menu, i would like to output a beep when pxelinux is waiting for input. Googling shows that this question has been raised several times and the proposed solution was to insert a CTRL/G in the DISPLAY file. But this does not seem to work, i only see a circular dot, no beep sounds. I am using PXElinux 3.08. Am i missing smoething? Thanks for any help, Heinrich Rebehn University of Bremen Physics / Electrical and Electronics Engineering - Department of Telecommunications - Phone : +49/421/218-4664 Fax : -3341

Am i missing smoething?Looks like the {pxe,sys,iso,etc}linux code does not translate \x07 to hardware instructions, but passed x07 as-is to the video hardware (which of course does not make a sound) Jan Engelhardt -- | Gesellschaft fuer Wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung Goettingen, | Am Fassberg, 37077 Goettingen, www.gwdg.de
