I need help getting the OpenCL drivers for ATI/Radeon 7750 installed.
Below is a somewhat lengthy log of what I have tried to do.
The prime question is whether or not anyone has been able to get OpenCL working for the Radeon HD 7750 card. And if so, how...
A side-question is whether or not I have to do the kernel compiles - since it looks lie the aptitude install sis that.
Here goes...
Code: Select all
I'm running squeeze and went to backports to get the non-free driver
fglrx-driver (1:12-3-1~bpo60+1) [backports][non-free]
( have this in my sources.list):

deb-src http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian-backports squeeze-backports main non-free

Description: non-free ATI/AMD RadeonHD display driver
FGLRX / AMD Catalyst is the non-free proprietary display driver for the ATI/AMD RadeonHD and FireGL graphics cards. As an
alternative, you may try the newest free driver xserver-xorg-video-radeon.
This package provides display drivers and hardware accelerated OpenGL for X.Org. For 3D acceleration to work, you will need to
compile the fglrx kernel module for your kernel: see the fglrx-modules-dkms package. Note that the driver will work without the
kernel module, but 3D acceleration will be disabled.
The driver can work with plain MESA libGL, but some applications may require the proprietary libGL. This library is shipped in
the libgl1-fglrx-glx package.
Homepage: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html
This package suggests:
fglrx-control,
xvba-va-driver,
amd-opencl-icd
I did:
aptitude -t wheezy install fglrx-driver fglrx-control xvba-va-driver amd-opencl-icd
The results:
No candidate version found for xvba-va-driver

But boinc does not see OpenCL.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BOINC
Projects using GPU
If you want to use your GPU, you need the proprietary nvidia or amd drivers.
For ATI/AMD Cards you also need Catalyst driver for stock kernel which you can get from AUR.
For Nvidia, you also need the package opencl-nvidia located in extra.
=======================================================
Brain deficit here. Anyone know what "AUR" could be?
Or how to further test OpenCL?
But it looks like I have OpenCL. Is there more?

Do I have to compile kernel?
It looks like this was don with the aptitude install.

says sdk supports Ubuntu® 11.04(32-bit/64-bit)
There are segmentation faults and BOINC can't see an OpenCL driver.
In summary, is it possible to install with the Debian drivers?
If not what is the backup plan? Ubuntu, Mandrake? Windows? Trash the new card and try Nvidia?
