The thing is, there's already an ebuild for dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl, but
since I upgraded the display card the resulting code hasn't worked. BOINC
reports 'No usable GPUs found' and sources on the Web say that neither of the
two drivers works. Impasse.
Am I going to have to replace the old display card and write off the expense?
Looks like it.
Have you got the appropriate microcode or whatever it is loaded into the
kernel or modules?
I had a similar issue where X/wayland wouldn't load with "Can't find
video card" or somesuch, and the card wasn't being initialised by the
kernel, because I hadn't installed the relevant "proprietary firmware".
So the card didn't work.
(I've got some fun coming in the future, I want to share kernels across
my machines, one is a Ryzen, the other that A-class thingy with GPU, and
it appears it requires a little magic to make both work on the same
kernel ...)
