but when I run the SETI@home gpu is almost always 0

# aticonfig --od-getclocks | grep "GPU"
                 GPU load :    0%

this is right?

Boinc is only reporting CAL support for your GPU, OpenCL support is required for Seti OpenCL apps, they don't have CAL only apps.

Setiathome applications

You'll need to install an AMD OpenCL package.

Hey Claggy

# dpkg -l | grep "amd-opencl-dev"
ii  amd-opencl-dev:amd64                  1:14.3~beta1.0-1               amd64        AMD OpenCL development files

thanks for the reply

# aticonfig --od-getclocks | grep "GPU"
                 GPU load :    70%

:-)

Brilliant.
