Public bug reported:
BOINC fails to detect the GPU of the AMD A4-5300 APU.
With the OpenCL drivers and the latest AMD SDK installed it detects the
CPU as OpenCL-capable, but not the GPU.

04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] [coproc] relative to directory /var/lib/boinc-client
04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] [coproc] with data directory /var/lib/boinc-client
04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] OpenCL CPU: AMD A4-5300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (OpenCL driver vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., driver version 1642.5 (sse2,avx,fma4), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (1642.5))
04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] No NVIDIA library found
04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] calInit() returned 1
04-Jan-2015 15:26:43 [---] No usable GPUs found
There are various articles on the BOINC forums, and the various
projects' forums, all giving advice that doesn't help, but this should
really work out of the box. I am unable to get this to work at all.

Also tried with 7.4.23 from PPA

Irritatingly it did work ONCE running 7.4.22 (from the BOINC website) as
the logged in user, but I have no idea why or how to recreate this. I
tried setting "xhost +" too but this had no effect.
ubuntu-bug refuses to report this bug.
