AMDGPU question

This Gentoo page have a lot of into regarding it: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU
Also for the PRO (closed sourced) driver: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU-PRO

Installed PRO headless but it's not recognising opencl. Seems there's some components missing that were previously installed by the PRO graphics driver.
EDIT: Tried reinstalling without the -y flag and this time it took minutes instead of the few seconds from previously together with a progress bar. Limited to overclocking to 2000 instead of the previous 2230 but has no effect on mining. Don't know why AMD can't have an integrated solution that works across the board.

Install the best driver for overclocking, then install ONLY the opencl drivers included in the closed source PRO package. Instruction here: https://einsteinathome.org/content/...md-gpus-linux-kubuntu-1804-and-similar-distro
According to that I should leave the default driver and install just the opencl driver. Didn't even know that was an option but somehow doubt that's the problem. The overclocking values simply don't carry over to the compute mode. It reports them but don't know if they're really implemented or simply reporting the values stored.
No luck. Installed just the opencl drivers but nothing. It reports the new speeds but really still runs at the old speeds. Has anybody actually done a successful overclock on Linux? Older drivers perhaps?
Also ran into the problem the miner script doesn't want to run on startup.

Not sure what you have tried, but this seems relevant:

How to Overclock Your AMD GPU with AMDGPU on Linux - Make Tech Easier
Overclocking your graphic cards in Linux and getting the most out of them is more difficult than Windows. For AMD card owners, the utilities that you need to overclock your card are included in the drivers you already have installed. Here's how you can easily overclock the AMD GPU to get the...

Overclocking RX 580 on Ubuntu 16.04
Hi, I'am mining ethereum with 6 RX 580, i'm using Ubuntu 16.04 everything work, exept that I want to overclock my cards but that does not work.

Not familiar with Cudo Miner but Claymore also has the option. Doesn't work. So far I haven't come across anybody who has been able to overclock on Linux. Hashrates always stay the same without a BIOS mod. Only reason I can think of is that there's bad integration between the graphics driver and OpenCL. How that can be I don't know as the card reports running at the higher speed but then mining takes place at the standard speed.
