CL_INVALID_WORK_GROUP_SIZE in clEnqueueNDKernelRange

I am working on an ATI RV770 which allows a maximum of 256 work-items in a workgroup. However, when I try to to set a workgroup size of 16x16x1 (=256) in the clEnqueueNDKernelRange function, I've got the error CL_INVALID_WORK_GROUP_SIZE. Is this the expected behaviour ?

I don't have the problem when I set the workgroup size to 8x8x1.

Maximum workgroup size will also depend on your kernel. You can query the maximum workgroup size for your kernel using clGetKernelWorkGroupInfo() API call.
