COMPUTE vs. DISPLAY

[magnum]

Is it just me or did AMD drop the COMPUTE environment variable overriding DISPLAY in 13.12? I found it very handy for ssh -X sessions but it doesn't work anymore.

Fwiw it could be worked around within oclHashcat, eg. like this:

Code:

char *env; // Prefer COMPUTE over DISPLAY and lacking both, assume :0 env = getenv("COMPUTE"); if (env && *env) setenv("DISPLAY", env, 1); else { env = getenv("DISPLAY"); if (!env || !*env) setenv("DISPLAY", ":0", 1); }

I was going to add a request on trac but I thought I'd ask for others opinions/insights first.
