I had this issue too after trying out andy-tracking. It seems to be related o 
Qi.

I have found this workaround on the devel mailing list:

create a file /etc/apm/resume.d/01display:

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
echo "qvga-normal" > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state
echo "normal" > /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state
xrandr -s 480x640

make it executable and enjoy your WSOD-free Neo Freerunner :)

Hope this helps.
Michael
