aha I didn't know about the xf86-video-amdgpu DDX requirement. OK, have installed that :D >> 3. I'd like this card to crunch with boinc.

I saw no option for boinc_client to use OpenCL when building the port, so I installed opencl first, then linux-c7 (was c6 before) then built boinc-client ensuring the option to take linux work was selected. The boinc project is World Community Grid. I'm not able to immediately test as it's a friend's computer. He says it "displays great" but I'm looking for a way to quantify that. Hence the question how to test the cards capabilities. thanks, -- J. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
