These are quite the same results I had.

I always SSH to the neo with x forwarding enabled - the missing xauth file was 
just caused by xauth missing from my installation. fixed now. Your command 
above works fine, but that might be because I killed my old debian 
installation in the meantime and have a fine-running new one now, with the 
same suspend problems you mentioned above. Because of this, I cannot 
reproduce the issue. I wanted to play with the neo instead of waiting for a 
reply on the buglist after a few days... :)
