Trevor,
this would be a function of the console, or terminal-emulator program,
such as Xterm.

   Are you willing to go into the source code? Xterm cant do it, but it
does have 'visual bell' wich replaces the beep with a flash. So if you
look at the source for that, it might be very easy to adapt.

   Doing the same for a text console is probably kernel territory.
