Post#1 by pasks » 28 May 2014, 14:29

Guys i have a problem: i want issue a beep with porteus. Actually i have add a pcspkr.ko kernel module in /input/misc/ and enable it with command "modprobe pcspkr", in fact when i call lsmod, the pcspkr module appear in top of the list. When i call the beep program with command "beep -f 2000 -l 2000" the beep isn't give out. Some of you could help me please?

hello pasks,

did you recompile the kernel with PC speaker support or grabbed this module from some other kernel? if latter then i would recommend full recompilation as some other kernel deps may be needed to be enabled.

btw: shouldn't this topic belong to 'hardware' section of the forum?

I found the pcspkr source code (pcspkr.c) on-line and compile this to generate a .ko file. Then i move it in ../input/misc/ and i have modify di .config file in /usr/src/uname -r/

I try to recompile the kernel module, hoping that it works :wall:
