Hello all. I may get shot for this question, but here goes:
Is it possible to have darktable use libOpenCL without installing proprietary graphics drivers? I have googled a bit and found this http://streamcomputing.eu/blog/2011-06-24/install-opencl-on-debianubuntu-orderly/ but I haven't tried it yet. I'm using the latest driver from ATI for my Radeon 6700M. When I try add an external LED monitor there is crazy flickering and sometimes loss of mouse focus, using that driver. This laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6 - the fan sounds like boeing about preparing for takeoff if I use the opensource drivers for image processing. Gets seriously warm too. Both darktable and GIMP are relatively slow without libOpenCL which I have gotten to really enjoy using. So I'd be extremely happy if it was possible to avoid ATI drivers but be able to edit using libOpenCL.
