Thanks for the tip about that thread. when I ran # sbin/modprobe pcspkr
I got my system bell back, but there are two unusual things related:
a) the sound is coming from my desktop speakers/subwoofer rather than
the built-in speaker that beeps when a shutdown is done.
b) I created a /etc/rc.modules file that contained the one line
modprobe pcspkr
saved it and rebooted. But the system bell wasn't there. I restored it
again with # /sbin/modprobe pcspkr. Do I have the line correct in my
/etc/rc.modules file? Should it be /sbin/modprobe pcspkr?

Yes, but I think I have some more information that might help
trouble-shoot what is going on. When I try the flipscreen3D screensaver,
it's just displaying a white rectangle. This leads me to believe that
what is really happening is that the underlying screen is not being
picked up.
I looked in the Advanced settings of the screensaver, and the box for
Grab Desktop Images is checked. I have now tried unchecking and
rechecking both the Grab Desktop Images and the Grab Video Frames boxes,
but the symptoms are the same: for screensavers that use the desktop
image, the desktop images is not being detected by the screensaver.
