Hi Roberto,

you have to download, patch and compile the linux-kernel. It is not complicated.
You can follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1850544
But ignore the parts with the "vaio-full-3.0-rc.patch" patch and the network 
driver (r8168).

You only need to patch the kernel with the last two patches from 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41265 to get the radeon working.

If I have more time, I will try to document the process.
