Subject: Re: Fwd: John not detecting AMD OpenCL devices on Ubuntu 20

Hi Alexander,

This worked a treat - hadn't realised that these were not part of the AMD &
OpenCL packages I had installed. I think it would be really useful if you
could add something about this requirement into the OpenCL page in the docs
for other's reference in future.

Many thanks,

James
