What problem are you having? The 4870 drivers were broken with the OpenCL stuff from 11.8 to 11.12 or so. 12.1 works.

I'm currently at 11.8 because anything (stable) after that broke other OpenCL apps. I see that 12.1 is in Gentoo Portage, so I'll try that. Thanks for the info.

ATI isn't even a selection in the preferences anymore. How does that get missed?

It was gone for maybe 2 hours. BOINC relies on too much strstr(something, "ati") everywhere and the applications with ATI in the name are all deprecated now.

Actually I've now managed to get it to happen on the R770 (4850/4870) but nothing else.

The technology race marches on. The needs of the project change over time and older hardware gets left behind. Such is life. I overcame that by purchasing a 3850 card for the AGP slot in my 3.0GHz P4. But some will still have the same problem regarding available apps for their platform. Maybe you could ask Gipsel to do you one....or just find a project that suits your aging hardware.
