Thank you for your reply. |

'xset c' seems to be the right way to set a crackling sound when |
| 21 |
a keyboard button is pressed. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The still open question for me is how to combine it with the |
| 24 |
'/usr/bin/setxkbmap us,some-cyrillic' command I use to set |
| 25 |
keyboard layouts to get a nice crackling sound only in a Cyrillic |
| 26 |
keyboard layout. |

P.S. A simple test revealed that 'xset c' probably uses a small |
| 29 |
beeper attached to the motherboard. It is ok. Moreover, the |
| 30 |
same was used by Keyrus. But I still have to find and connect |
| 31 |
it to the motherboard: I detached it some time ago because |
| 32 |
it beeped to often during the compilation time while updating |
| 33 |
the system. |
