Maybe you need an /etc/X11/xorg.conf? To, you know, spell things out a
bit. Mine has the following:
...
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "ATI Radeon R480 X850 XT PE"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "BusType" "PCIE"
EndSection
...
The thing that my help you is the "BusID" definition. You will have a
different "BusType" and "BusID". I don't know about mapppc, but on
i386/amd64 I used pcidump(8) to find its "address" (1:0:0).
Also radeon(4) is your friend.
