Can you explain further?

I've read the xset man page, I've tried the 'c' option, and it does
absolutely nothing.  To the best of my recollection, the 'xset c'
command has never done anything on any X11 machine I've used in the
past 15+ years.  I have vague memories of it having done something on
Sun 3 hardware 20 years ago, but all it did was turn a "click" on/off.

What solution is that?
