I think you're right, but "is there a handler method for that GPE present?" is a bit too low-level question to ask from outside of ACPICA. We should be asking "is there any kind of handling registered for it?" if anything, but in my opinion the cleanest approach would be to modify acpi_enable_gpe() to return an error code if there's no handler/method/notify for the GPE in question. The patch I attached to the BZ entry doesn't do that just yet, because I'm wondering whether or not it will make the ACPICA's auto-disabling trigger. :-) Rafael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
