The short answer [Guess] is no, I dont think so. If getting the keys to have an auditory feedback with beeps or shorter clicks were that easy, it would have been done after 15 years. Even Linux lacks this--and I'd bet Minux too. What I've got to do is pick up where I kwit ten years ago with the kernel driver code and drop the the code to make the speaker-audio create tiny, brief clicks, preferably low, thunky sounds like ye ancient IBM Selectrics. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
