Arch x64. Catalyst 10.12.
Boinc manager says: "No usable GPUs found"
How can I use my GPU on boinc?

Does "amdstream" solve the problem somehow?
Or maybe it depends on type of project? BTW I use WCG.

Ok, I have found recently a link on that case:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thr … true#34659
Maybe it could help someone.

Found the same explanation on how to use GPU on Arch's BOINC page under "Projects Using GPU".
Works here with HD4870 and catalyst 11.2 and appears that amd-stream isn't needed for BOINC:
Tue 01 Mar 2011 11:18:37 PM EET Local time is UTC +2 hours
Tue 01 Mar 2011 11:18:38 PM EET ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 4700/4800 (RV740/RV770) (CAL version 1.4.1016, 512MB, 1360 GFLOPS peak)
Tue 01 Mar 2011 11:18:38 PM EET AQUA@home URL http://aqua.dwavesys.com/; Computer ID 99693; resource share 100
EDIT: It appears that executed in /etc/rc.local doesn't work for BOINC, I got "No usable GPU's found" after the restart. Had to execute "xhost local:boinc" and "/etc/rc.d/boinc restart" with sudo to use the GPU again. So the following isn't working, sorry if I misled someone.
I only added
xhost local:boinc
in gnome-session-properties /startup applications/, but I still have to restart boinc after startup.
EDIT2: The only way I was able to resolve this was to put a cron job for restarting boinc every time right before the start time /Scheduled boinc for night hours/. Used vcron from AUR
* 22 * * * /etc/rc.d/boinc restart
