I am running Ubuntu 13.04 64bit with 16GB RAM and this is my VGA card:

```
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor     Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 45

Kernel driver in use: i915

```

When I try to run **poclbm** miner, it doesn't list any openCL devices and says *nothing to mine on* ?
Is there any other miner that I can use on Ubuntu to use and maximize the performance from my VGA card ?

**Tags:** client, ubuntu, gpu-mining, poclbm

Your VGA card *has* no performance to maximise. Your CPU is more powerful for this kind of computation. I know, I have the same card.
