My gpu's are not recognized by bfgminer in Linux but Linux shows the cards

I have AMD Firepro cards on Linux using bfgminer. I can see video, Linux sees the cards, but bfgminer does not. Any ideas?

BFGMiner? Why would you want to use that with a GPU?

BFGMiner is now only used for BTC ASICs many years ago, about a decade ago it was used for CPU and GPU mining BTC. Right now you can't mine Bitcoin with a GPU, you are just going to waste electricity.

I am not sure what you can even mine with an AMD Firepro GPU. If you want to mine with GPUs maybe pick up some RX 470 8GB and mine ethereum with it. I am assuming it doesn't detect your GPU because the fork you downloaded was aimed for FGPA and ASICs and not CPU/GPUs.
