Yes, I have that installed already. There's no sign of GPU activity other than 
as a display driver (as shown by radeonpro). Watching the BOINC log I see 
numerous requests for GPU jobs by several projects, but none arrive. So I 
supposed I must have something missing, whence the query.

I've been through all my projects and made sure they really were all set up to 
use the GPU. Still no jobs received.

I'd better take it up with the offending projects - thanks for your help, 
Rich.
