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".
