The RadeonHD (or any other open-source R500/600 driver) doesn't yet support full 3D... It won't be for a few months for R500 and even longer for R600. If you need 3D your only choice right now is the Catalyst "fglrx" driver.Michael Larabel

You could try adding a
ChipID 0x9501
override in the Device section and add your 950F in fglrxko_pci_ids.h - this file is pretty simple. Maybe you get it working then just with unsupported ATI watermark. A more brutal way would be changing fglrx_drv.so
sed -i 's/0x9501/0x950F/' fglrx_drv.so
But I guess you need to patch the other header file too, if you want it easy use the same sed command on it. If you are really lucky that works... 0x9501 is standard 3870.
