Two Simple Qs: Alsa & GDM keymap
 

Hey,

Just installed Sarge (2.4). Everything's sorted, except I've two simple questions that I cant seem to find an answer to:

1. When I initially installed Sarge, I did not install ALSA. At this point the terminal bell/pc speaker worked fine. I then installed ALSA (which is working fine) but now there is no terminal bell/pc speaker anymore. I've run alsamixer and made sure all the levels are turned up appropriately. How can I get the terminal bell working again?

2. I've set my xfree86 keymap to "gb". Once I log into GNOME, everything works fine and the British keymap is used. However GDM uses the American keymap. Also, GRUB's keymap is also set to American. Where can I change these keymaps to the British one?

There are probably very simple answers to the above, but I couldn't seem to find the appropriate files to edit.

Cheers in advance!

You can check if pcspkr -module is loaded. It is also possible that KDE has enabled system
sounds that try to replace the beeps got from pcspeaker.

Probably from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, section InputDevice/keyboard, setting:
I'm not sure about the grub thing.
