Please attach the output of `dmesg` after you try it with radeon. The
words "Failed to load kernel module for pci:0000:00:01.0: Exec format
error" mostly look like a problem with loading a kernel module. You
don't need to preload any modules from `loader.conf` - Xorg will try
load everything it would need anyway. And `dmesg` will show what goes on
when modules are initialized.

Well yes, wiki states that it's not supported. On the other hand wiki
mentions the full list of what you can provide to check what was the
problem for those devices: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Reporting
