[ltp] ACPI problem (bis)

[James Mckenzie]

Uwe:

The A22p supposedly uses the Rage 128 Mobility chipset.  The fixes given for the Radeon problem did not fix the problems with my A22p, even after I added it to the list.  I think that my system has a problem with ACPI and should be updated.  I plan on doing so this evening.  In any case, I'm moving to a distribution that does not use the 2.6 kernel (and may never do so as the distribution's leader sees no need to do so, yet.)  I will stick with what works with this system (BIOS based APM) for now too.  I was glad to get SS2 working with ACPI and hope that someone fixes the A22p in the future.
