You can use the command "hal-device" to see which devices HAL can see. For example my CD/DVD burner shows up in the list as: 2: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7240S' info.category = 'storage' (string) info.capabilities = { 'storage', 'block', 'storage.cdrom' } (string list) info.addons = { 'hald-addon-storage' } (string list) storage.cdrom.cdr = true (bool) storage.cdrom.cdrw = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvd = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdr = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdrw = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdrdl = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdram = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdplusr = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdplusrw = true (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdplusrwdl = false (bool) storage.cdrom.dvdplusrdl = true (bool) storage.cdrom.bd = false (bool) storage.cdrom.bdr = false (bool) storage.cdrom.bdre = false (bool) storage.cdrom.hddvd = false (bool) storage.cdrom.hddvdr = false (bool) storage.cdrom.hddvdrw = false (bool) storage.cdrom.mo = false (bool) storage.cdrom.mrw = true (bool) storage.cdrom.mrw_w = true (bool) storage.cdrom.support_media_changed = true (bool) storage.cdrom.support_multisession = true (bool) storage.cdrom.read_speed = 8467 (0x2113) (int) storage.cdrom.write_speed = 8467 (0x2113) (int) storage.cdrom.write_speeds = { '8467', '7056', '5645', '4234', '2822', '1411' } (string list) block.storage_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7240S' (string) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.method_names = { 'Eject', 'CloseTray' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.method_signatures = { 'as', 'as' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.method_argnames = { 'extra_options', 'extra_options' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.method_execpaths = { 'hal-storage-eject', 'hal-storage-closetray' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_names = { 'Mount', 'Unmount', 'Eject' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_signatures = { 'ssas', 'as', 'as' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_argnames = { 'mount_point fstype extra_options', 'extra_options', 'extra_options' } (string list) org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_execpaths = { 'hal-storage-mount', 'hal-storage-unmount', 'hal-storage-eject' } (string list) volume.mount.valid_options = { 'ro', 'sync', 'dirsync', 'noatime', 'nodiratime', 'relatime', 'noexec', 'quiet', 'remount', 'exec', 'utf8', 'shortname=', 'codepage=', 'iocharset=', 'umask=', 'uid=' } (string list) info.product = 'DVD RW AD-7240S' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_RW_AD_7240S' (string) block.device = '/dev/sr0' (string) block.major = 11 (0xb) (int) block.minor = 0 (0x0) (int) block.is_volume = false (bool) storage.bus = 'pci' (string) storage.no_partitions_hint = true (bool) storage.media_check_enabled = false (bool) storage.automount_enabled_hint = true (bool) storage.drive_type = 'cdrom' (string) storage.model = 'DVD RW AD-7240S' (string) storage.vendor = 'Optiarc' (string) storage.lun = 0 (0x0) (int) storage.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string) storage.removable.media_available = false (bool) storage.removable = true (bool) storage.size = 0 (0x0) (uint64) storage.removable.support_async_notification = false (bool) storage.hotpluggable = false (bool) storage.requires_eject = true (bool) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:08:00.0/host15/target15:0:0/15:0:0:0/block/sr0' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_197b_2363_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0' (string) info.interfaces = { 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume', 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage', 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage', 'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable' } (string list) info.vendor = 'Optiarc' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 3 (0x3) (int)
