摘要: A method and system for selectively enabling wake events in software of a computer to overcome problems arising when hardware devices fail clear signal. The operating manages events, also distinguishes between that are exclusively run-time shared events. At boot time, the ACPI driver examines tables provided by firmware determine which GPEs associated with wake-up either or These event associations tracked managed differently from received on other register pins. When receives GPE Status is enabled counterpart Enable register, runs an method. has completed, determines whether needs be re-enabled.
