You use the r128 X server for the A22p, and the r128 kernel module if 
you want semi-accelerated OpenGL.  Build the r128 kernel module as a 
module; that way, you can rmmod it if it causes problems.  I can't help 
you with the ACPI junk; my A22p works just fine with APM and if it 
ain't broke, fix it until it is broke... Er.

There's no Radeon chip in an A22p, so there's no problem.  HTH,
