One other thing I'll have to see is if all my monitors are detected in X/KDE or TDE (only first display port is on the pure terminal, not the higher-numbered display ports.) It's not as easy for ethminer (ethereum,) lolminer (bitcoin gold,) or nsgminer (feathercoin,) which I'm pasting some configuration/compile errors below to ask about. If OpenCL supports the card, BOINC just detects it. Instead I get entries in the console log like 'Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:31416 from 127.0.0.1:55025'. I get the expected output from the 'help' and 'version' commands, but from 'getstate' or anything else I get no output. tells the system to start the BOINC client as a daemon at boot time insserv -r boinc-client 1. The boinc daemon is running, but I can't connect to it with boinccmd. appended to these files continuously by BOINCs assimilator daemon as participating.

Since FreeBSD 12 has OpenCL, probably also for AMD Radeon RX Vega cards, I think BOINC will work but haven't installed a desktop environment (DE) such as KDE to test it, but it shouldn't be something I necessarily need help on. In opensuse Linux distributions you use the insservcommand to turn a system service (daemon) on or off at boot time. Many popular projects use BOINC, including RosettaHome Baker2006. To do that, I'd need my graphics card to be able to use OpenCL such as for Berkeley Open Infrsastructure for Network Computing (to contribute idle system resources to research/academic science) and some cryptocurrency miners. I'm trying to switch from having to use one of three commercialized GNU/Linux distributions that have AMDGPU-PRO, back to *BSD, this time FreeBSD.
