I've had trouble getting BOINC to find it. I've tried a buch of things, no luck. I have BOINC Client 7.4.23 installed via the Debian Testing Repository (Jessie), AMD APP 2.91 installed, AMD Proprietary drivers (1:14.9+ga14.201-2) installed via Debian Testing Repository (Jessie) and it is setup to run /etc/init.d/boinc-client at boot (running boinc at user boinc). User boinc has access to groups boinc, video and plugdev. My event log with GPU debugging flagged....
