I was trying to get Half-Life running under Wine last night, and ran into a problem with getting the CD label under Wine. Since the HL CD is a mixed mode data/audio disk (as are most game disks nowadays) Wine complained with a We don't have a way of determining the label of a mixed mode CD - Linux doesn't allow raw access ! However, Xcdroast was easily able to access the data. As an experiment, I disabled this check in misc/cdrom.c, and it worked quite happily. Perhaps this check is out of date. Perhaps it is my system setup: 2.4.6-pre7, Samsung CD-Writer/DVD reader on IDE, ide-scsi module loaded, Wine configured to use the /dev/scd0 link. Now, if I could just work out why the OpenGL is flashing...
