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 [---] No NVIDIA library found

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
https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc

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.
