Anyone running a R9 290 GPU? If so, which BOINC version and which drivers? I have a newbie user on Collatz that can't get any work because the BOINC client isn't asking for any. I think it is due to BOINC's bass ackwards coprocessor design where opencl is seen as an attribute of CUDA and CAL rather than being a separate coprocessor type. From what I can tell, the GPU doesn't support CAL but does support OpenCL. BOINC stops as soon as it sees CAL is not supported so it won't ask for work. Or, at least, I think that is what is happening.
