Support for the bell under X has been added to XFree86 using either
Holgers new `keycap' driver or a modified 0.1 pccons driver.

The current status is: it's gone through alpha testing and is ready
for the next beta test.  If you want it early, feel free to beta test
it.  After the beta test it will be in the general release.

I've not been able to track down the cause of the keyboard hanging
overnight.  I've narrowed it down to something invoked by /etc/daily,
but we need more information before we have an idea of the cause.
