Dencrypt, Hi there.
Could you, please, help me with a similar problem on getting the correct driver for World Community Grid?
They require OpenCL (not OpenGL)
I tried the Debian driver and ithe video worked - but BOINC did not recognize the GPU.
I *think* the problem was that it did not find OpneCL
- for that model of Radeon/ATI.
I had posted an xorg.0.log to:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thr ... stid=47934
Here is a snippet of the above-mentioned xorg.o.log:

Then, I took a different route and searched for OpenCL...
Debian (Squeeze) does haveOpenCL for Nvidia drivers built into their distribution:
root@xxxx:/var/log# aptitude search openCL
v lib32opencl1
v libopencl1
v libopencl1-dev
p nvidia-libopencl1 - NVIDIA OpenCL library
p nvidia-libopencl1-dev - NVIDIA OpenCL development files
p nvidia-libopencl1-ia32 - NVIDIA OpenCL 32-bit library
p nvidia-opencl-common - NVIDIA OpenCL driver
p nvidia-opencl-icd - NVIDIA OpenCL ICD
p nvidia-opencl-icd-ia32 - NVIDIA OpenCL ICD (32-bit)
v opencl-icd -
I tried the
non-nvidia-named open cli.. NOPE. It went to the Nvidia....
I didn't see the AMD open CL because it was in testing - not the stable release.
Get try it.
Fail again
BOINC did NOT recognize the GPU....
Here are the details...
( I used a Ga Tech mirror)
Code: Select all
add to /etc/apt/sources.list
# Backports

deb-src http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian-backports squeeze-backports main non-free
verify package and install
--
root@xxxx:/etc/apt# aptitude search amd-clinfo
p amd-clinfo - AMD OpenCL utility
root@xxxx:/etc/apt# aptitude install amd-clinfo
The following NEW packages will be installed:
amd-clinfo amd-libopencl1{a} amd-opencl-icd{a}
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 12.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 35.7 MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y
Reboot and restart BOINC..
Ugggh the BOINC message repeats...
Fri 22 Feb 2013 03:34:18 AM EST No usable GPUs found
OK. I'll close this up...
Since Feb 22, I took the 7750 card out of the Debian Linux box and tested it (to be sure) in a windows box.
I got the Catalyst driver from the AMD website - and BOINC recognized the GPU and crunched away.
Now the card is back in my Debian Squeeze box and I'm stuck.
Opinions, love letters and advice
are requested and accepted.
Thanks,
Jay
