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.
