Bfgminer-5.4.2 appears to work on Mesa with "mesa-opencl-icd" but only after

    sudo apt-get purge amd-opencl-icd

I have only "mesa.icd" in "/etc/OpenCL/vendors".

Even though Bfgminer recognised "OCL 0" when started with "-S opencl:auto",
"bfgminer -n" printed "0 GPU devices max detected" which looks like upstream 
bug...
