RE: Crunching GRCs in a pool to warm-up my place

Yes, AMD drivers are really weird. In my case I have a headless computer with a Radeon 280X and I have used a patched fglrx package to get OpenCL working. This is the thread about it:

P.D: If you are using the graphics card with a desktop environment, don't install anything from this link. This is only for headless systems.

    Thanks, @aglezabad! But, yes, I'm using it with a desktop environment. I know, sub-optimal, but easier for my level on command line...

      Well, you can get BOINC working with GUI manager remotely. I have boinc-client on headless system and I control it from another computer using BOINC Manager. You only need to add the ip address where you have the manager to remote_hosts file and a password in gui_rpc_auth file.

      But also, as @tomasbrod said, you will get OpenCL working with AMD GPUPRO and you won't need to change the system.

      Have fun.
