Hi,
adventurous that I am, I installed the avanced bios for sony z21 [1]
and disabled the intel card.
Be careful and write down the keys that you have to press, because the screen 
will be off! (Restart Computer, wait 4-6 seconds, press F2, F9, Enter,F10, Enter)

Then i booted ubuntu (blind), logged in with a ssh and installed the newest 
fglrx driver.
Still nothing working :(

the important error messages:

AGAIN, be warned! If you disable the intel card, after rebooting your screen is off!
