Actually, the A88XM-A specs say:
Integrated AMD Radeon™ HD 7000/8000 Series Graphics in A-series APU
(http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/A88XMA/specifications/)

The problem is that the 7000 is supported with Gallium, but the 8000 is
listed as no working. Also, Gallium support is not present in 8.4, as far
as I can tell.
