Indeed, the preinstalled Asus-custom-built 12.04 LTS was working just fine on the X201e, because as it seems, they incorporated special drivers you cannot find on the net, and their "technical support" is no help either. Now where do we go from here?

The only thing I found was a czech forum-entry on how to rebuild the recovery-partition, here the original link:

and the google-translation [reply #14]:

It would be elegant to be able to convert backup_ASUS.tgz in a bootable ISO, but I didn't try that for now and I certainly won't reformat the HDD like it was with 109 GB wasted for an omnious backup of an old OS. This is also the reason I'm not interested in 12.04 LTS, but I want to see 13.04 able to enter into regular suspend mode [I think it's a fundamental ability for a computer nowadays] from the second time onwards, not only the first & last time.

Fingers crossed, I hope there is a solution, because if it worked in 12.04 and *sometimes* in 12.10 - it should work in 13.04!

The other thing I learned is to never ever buy a notebook with a pre-installed special-version of Ubuntu, but to look specificly for maximum compatibility with to official distro. I didn't realize that there is a huge difference, now I now better.
