It sounds like the Radeon HD 3400 hardware does not support "ATI Stream Processing" (and thus OpenCL on the GPU).

See How to enable OpenCL-GPU-processing in Linux (CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU)? (It is only supported on certain cores, and there are multiple cores -- with different features enabled -- used within a Fxxx model range).

Happy OpenCL-on-CPU coding.
