BFI_INT with ATI7970 on Linux

[flok]

Hi,

I'm trying to mine using:
- phoenix 1.7.5
- linux with kernel 3.4.0
- fglrx 1:12-6+point-1
- ATI7970

I'm trying to run it with BFI_INT but it complains "Failed to apply BFI_INT patch to kernel".
Any idea how to fix this?

(without it, it seems that
    -k poclbm AGGRESSION=13
 is the most efficient: 595 MHash/s, but with loads of "Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle" unfortunately).

GCN does not have that instruction, AMD's OpenCL compiler does the proper thing.

Can you elaborate on that?
I did not install a package with gcn in the name, only pyopencl and fglrx.

GCN is your hardware, 79xx.
