***Problem solved!!!***

Because that was so not necessary on my main system, I have not even come up with the idea.
While it was always necessary following command:
xhost local:boinc

But we must also be on the Kaveri system disables the access control (as user that is logged):
xhost +

Then also has boinc running as root access.

Result (excerpt):

I hope this helps someone who has the same problem.

I would try installing the amd-opencl-icd package and verify that the amdocl64.icd is in /etc/OpenCL/vendors directory.

I would make a backup copy of the existing libOpenCL.so.1 file to revert things back to if installing ocl-icd-libopencl1 causes things to go wonky. Then I would install ocl-icd-libopencl1.

Restart BOINC and see what happens.

Due to the conflicts, the packets amd-libopencl1{a} amd-libopencl1:i386{a} amd-opencl-dev{a} amd-opencl-icd:i386{a} boinc{u} boinc-amd-opencl{a} opencl-headers{u} are removed automatically.

(Before ocl-icd-libopencl1 installation.)
# cat /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl64.icd 
libamdocl64.so
# locate libamdocl64.so
/usr/lib/libamdocl64.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libamdocl64.so
# ls -l /usr/lib/libamdocl64.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mär 28 00:22 /usr/lib/libamdocl64.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libamdocl64.so

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38M Mär 21 06:54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libamdocl64.so


No change after that (ocl-icd-libopencl1 installation):

it would seem only two projects support GPU on Mac with AMD card
Milkyway has profited hugely from AMD's GCN-GPU's.

I think you will want to try to download and install the 13.30 RC3 Beta drivers from AMD themselves.
This Driver is old(er) (january!) and crashes the XServer immediately (so boinc don't work too).
The newer beta work fine, because the necessary pciids have been added as well (otherwise the module would not load).

As I said, everything works with the new driver (XServer, 3d acceleration, AMD-APP libraries). Clinfo proves that everything must be necessary yet.

But it will probably be just as Ageless wrote, it is simply can not be detected.

Only boinc does not recognize the GPU, everything else works.
