D'oh!  I was using acpi=none. Yes, thank you!



Also, the pc speaker aka system bell turns out to be very simple to fix:
	modprobe pcspkr
We can now enjoy the delights of the hardware bell. Which means that 
bash beeping is no longer 1/4 second late!




However, I'm still having trouble with tp4d - it doesn't work, even when 
I use Mandrake's package.
