- Linux Mint 17.1 x64
- Radeon HD 7850
- Blender 2.75 rc2

I have found solution to my problem. To enable openCl on Linux Mint 17.1 with ATI radeon video card just install ocl-icd-libopencl1
package for 64 bit system, or ocl-icd-libopencl1:i386
for 32 bit system. No need to run Blender as root or set up environment variable.
On Ubuntu open the Terminal and do:
sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev
then:
CYCLES_OPENCL_SPLIT_KERNEL_TEST=1 blender
