I checked this: pcspkr kernel module is loaded, as the previous command responds:
pcspkr 1699 0

I had also checked that, and alsamixer says that PCbeep is not mutted. By the
way all my sound system seems to work. Curiously, running emacs in a console,
through the command "emacs -nw", makes the PCbeep work !! I simply would like it
to work ALSO in it's X window, as I usually use it. Right now, I really don't
see why PC beep doesn't work for me in emacs.
Frédéric.
