Some of you may have noticed that alert tunes have stopped working on newer OS releases when the tune device is set to beeper. This is due to increased permission restrictions on /dev/tty0. The development code now contains a new udev rules file to resolve this. To give it a try, copy the file brltty/Autostart/Udev/beeper.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/90-brltty-beeper.rules and then reload your udev rules with this command:

   udevadm control --reload

This new udev rules file will be included within the upcoming 6.9.1 release.
