Details

Emacs makes annoying beep noises from pc speaker when I hit AltGr. I'm using a finnish keyboard. If I type C-h k + AltGr on emacs, it says that "<key-3> is undefined". This probably causes the beeps. Otherwise AltGr works normally (I can create []{} and such). This problem has been around for some month or two. I tried downgrading emacs to earlier version, but it didn't seem to help. Recently I also managed to reproduce the problem in another machine with a clean Arch linux install.

I have played around with emacs Mule settings, but have failed to find anything, which would stop the beeps.
For now I have removed the pc speaker module from my kernel. Otherwise it gets pretty annoying to write code ;)

I maintain emacs, but I don't actually use it. Can anyone else help him out?

Yes, the same happened to me on Gentoo last year and now on on Arch.

It works, great! Thank you very much. This should probably be updated to
the main repository as well.
