[Bf-cycles] opencl with ATI @ OSX 10.7.4 (better but still buggy)

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi,
just for reference I asked Daniel Salazar (ZanQdo) to test it his linux
machine (nvidia there).
In cuda the result is perfect (both viewport and render).

In opencl the result is good in render, but in viewport he gets:

Thanks,
Dalai

* http://www.pasteall.org/31802/diff this is the actual patch (the one I
sent is missing a '-').
