OpenCL can't find HD5870 card

I'm on a fresh CentOS 5.3 machine. I did the following:

1. ran ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run

2. installed ati-stream-sdk-v2.01-rhel64.tgz into /opt

3. set up the sym-links to /usr/lib/OpenCL/vendors

4. set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the x86_64 lib directory

The CLInfo program take a while to run, around 12 seconds, so it appears like it's trying really hard to find the hd5870 card. But ultimately it only finds the Intel CPU. 

Here's some more info:

Any hints to getting the HD5870 card recognized?

Are you able to run the CAL samples?

FindNumDevices sample will tell you if the devices are being detected properly.

FindNumDevices doesn't find it either:

coleb@hd5870~$ /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.01-rhel64/samples/cal/bin/x86_64/FindNumDevices 

Supported CAL Runtime Version: 1.3.185

Found CAL Runtime Version: 1.4.553

Use -? for help

CAL initialized.

Finding out number of devices :- 

Device Count = 0

CAL shutdown successful.

 

Press enter to exit...

I too see the very same problem with Ubuntu 9.04 and HD5870. Experimentally, I've discovered that the GPU will be seen only when I'm logged into a system from a console and having the X server/session running. As soon as I log out from the console the device disappears (from CLInfo).

Is there any way to force the device drivers (or whatever is needed here) to be loaded w/o having the X session from a console?

Thanks!

Thanks gapon, switching to runlevel 5 (turning on the X server) did the trick. I would agree it's kind of weird, and we need to be able to use this from runlevel 3. Our application is targeting clusters of GPU machines. 

And in the end, the AMD OpenCL driver doesn't support image objects yet, and my algorithm relies on the locality of a texture cache (otherwise every access would be an uncoalesced memory access).

Oh well, back to using my Tesla.

You must have an X server running to be able to access your GPU.

This limitation does not exist in the NVidia driver.
