loss of X bell with xorg-7.4

Hi,
I've recently upgraded two machines to FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE and
xorg-7.4_1./xorg-server-1.6.0,1, both compiled from ports. On both
machines, I have no X bell. There's no problem on a console VTY, only
when in X. I've been through google, this list's archives, and xorg
man pages, but I can't find any reference to a bell-related setting.
I normally run an 'xset b' command in my .xsession to get the pitch
and volume to my liking--I've tried different values, and I've tried
killing the X server and logging in with no 'xset b' command, but no
luck. Even just running 'Xorg' from a console VTY, escaping back to
the console, and running 'DISPLAY=:0 xterm' produces no bell, so it
doesn't appear to be anything specific to my user-level X
configuration.
System-wide configuration and log are at http://web.mr-happy.com/xorg/ .
A couple other notes, in case any of this is relevant:
- I don't use KDE, Gnome, or any other "environment", just a .xsession
and fvwm2.
- I run xdm from /etc/ttys to start my X sessions.
- Xorg is compiled without HAL support (which doesn't seem like it
should be related, but I guess you never know).
- The two machines are completely unrelated: one is a year-old Dell
Optiplex, and the other is a 3-year-old component-build thing.
Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on what I can check or try?
thanks,
Jeff
