Bug#611425: nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-amd64: Installing nvidia driver silences bell

Package: nvidia-kernel-2.6.32-5-amd64
Severity: normal

Installing the nvidia kernel module silences the bell that one should
hear when executing

echo -e "\a"

The bell sounds in a virtual terminal, but not in an xterm.
Purging nvidia (and restoring the nouveau driver) restores the bell.
