OCLP 2.0.1 Works Epicly MOSTLY on my mid-2010 iMac but not ARD

OCLP 2.0.1... I don't know when I've been more impressed. What all the folks involved in making OCLP possible has accomplished is stunning. That this project has been able to breathe new life into so many serviceable but otherwise Apple unsupported platforms is truly remarkable. I've been able to bring several legacy Macs up to date now running Sequoia.

Probably, from my perspective, the most amazing upgrade success is that I've been able to get most of the functionality of macOS 15 up and running on an iMac 11,2 Mid 2010 21.5" i3 with ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB graphics -- a hardware platform that is (my Gosh) fourteen years old!

Of course there are a few things that don't work. Most I can live without because I use this my oldest Mac as a dedicated email junk server running SpamSieve. What I'm going to really miss now that Sequoia is on the mid-2010 iMac is Apple Remote Desktop.

ARD will let me connect remotely from another Mac on our network in CONTROL or OBSERVE modes with control actually 100% functional BUT WITH NO VISUAL FEEDBACK... just a black display. Trying to share the screen using the OS built-in screen sharing works no better.

I've played around with this issue ad nauseam trying everything I can think of. I'd just give up on it but it seemed to be working at first when I installed it but now not so much. I highly suspect this issue is related to the necessary patches OCLP had to apply to the graphics software since I'm sure the major effort was to get it working at all much less do what was necessary to allow the video to be shared across the network. I did not see this listed as a limitation online but I'm sure not every little thing that does not work is not necessarily documented.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue or if it's known to be an issue? Even if the answer is that I'm out of luck that would at least let me be at peace not to keep trying to get it to work.

Thanks for reading this and for any kind of advice you can provide.
