I wanted to try "ethminer" (the OpenCL Ethereum miner) on Mesa.
I installed Ubuntu 15.10 (x86-64), the "ethminer" client, and the Oibaf PPA
Mesa packages.
The OpenCL's Mesa detects only 1GB on my Radeon R9 390 8GB.
So I can't even start "ethminer" since it currently requires 1.4 GB.
Moreover, the two others R9 Nano plugged in the computer are not even detected
by "ethminer" nor "clinfo".
