Per the radeon man page *here
<https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=xorg.conf&sektion=5&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+11.0-RELEASE+and+Ports>.
*However this option has been removed after 10.2. Under Linux the you
set it in yaboot bootloader by using 'radeon.agpmode=-1'. I do not
know if this will work in loader.conf



  *Option* *"BusType"*	*"**string**"*
	      Used  to	replace	 previous ForcePCIMode option.	Should only be
	      used when	driver's bus detection is incorrect  or	 you  want  to
	      force an AGP card	to PCI mode. You should	NEVER force a PCI card
	      to AGP bus.
	      PCI    --	PCI bus
	      AGP    --	AGP bus
	      PCIE   --	PCI Express bus
	      (used only when DRI is enabled)
	      The default is *auto* *detect.*
