That's the package I tried initially which failed all my (limited) 
testing due to the hardware not being supported.

Mesa 23 is available as experimental, but I did not manage to install 
that due to dependencies.

In the end, you'll have to test with your particular hardware, I think 
-- I've not been able to find a reliable and realistic list of working 
hard- and software combinations.



Current state, by the way, is that I'm fighting with boinc and systemd 
in this environment. OpenCL reminds me of the (good|bad) days of 
building my own kernel based upon incomplete information ;-)

Would be fun if I could sink a few days in it.

Cheers,

Arno
