Does anyone have HAL and SecuRom copy protection working? I'm starting to get support questions with people using HAL and I'm not sure how to help them. I need information now that HAL support is in Wine on whether SecuRom works with it and how to get it to work as I don't have HAL.

HAL as in the Freedesktop.org HAL or the Windows HAL?

HAL should be of no importance here, there will be no visible difference to static CDROM configuration.
Otherwise, no clue.

I'm going to try setting up ubuntu with HAL on a spare machine and see what it does. I use slack and I don't want to change what I got already. It will take some time to download and hook up the machine, so that's why I asked here first.

I just remembered that these new distros with HAL also have GCC 4.xx. I remember that it has been traced to be a cause of a problem with copy protection before when using wine compiled with it. You could be right that HAL has nothing to do it. I will check it all out when I get that version of GCC running too.

Ok, I just verified that HAL works perfectly fine for what we want. In fact, it does make thing easier for people as you don't have to mess with those device symlinks :)
I don't suspect anything wrong with GCC 4.xx now, as I think the ubuntu package is compiled with 4.0.3. I think the report on that may have been a very early version 4 or a buggy distro.
However, since I encountered no trouble, I don't know what's wrong with at least with one person's ubuntu...
