I don't think I had problems with the failure to reconnect, but I did find
the performance slow.

The main points I took from the thread on the forum are:

* 256 colours will be faster than 16-bit or 24-bit colour modes.

* It helps a lot if the mouse movements are rate-limited. Not sure if this
  is a client option.

VNC server from:
http://www.phlamethrower.co.uk/riscos/vnc_serv.php

Front end from:
http://www.steve-potts.me.uk/software.html#vnc

If there are any other tips, I've missed them.  I tried a few days ago when
this thread got going, with the VNC server running on the ARMX6 and a client
running on Linux.  The mouse movements were quite sluggish, but I hadn't
tried the rate limiting.

I'll give it another go and see if I can get it more useable.

I also had a go using it on the Beagleboard and something (maybe the front
end?) complained that the RISC OS version was not supported.  This put an
error box up and required me to click with the mouse to dismiss the error,
after which the VNC server worked fine.  I'd have to sort out that error if I
was going to run the Beagleboard without a mouse or keyboard and run the VNC
server on boot!
