Why do you think about winflector? Isn't this another remote access software where the real program runs on another hardware on another OS and only the screen output is mirrored to your machine?
You can do such thing easily with our RDP port. Setup a Linux machine, install xrdp/xvnc and connect to it from your ArcaOS desktop. Either freerdp (much preferred) or vncclient. Works quite good. Probably will work the same with a remote windoze machine. But no need bothering with that crap.
Not sure why you consider it crap honestly. It might not be your preference but it's still a good product.
It has several advantages. Instead of having to login to the whole server as you do with RDP - you can login to just a single app automatically in it's own application window, so it feels like a real application.
It's also much faster and optimized for speed then a standard RDP console.
And if you offered it as a hosted service to others it has better security controls.
But you seem to feel strongly about it.

.....I think that's the reason it is set that low after installation. It simply does not work on many machines with high values. I've one here which can't run with >2048. Although quite standard and not very new Asustek mainboard. Unfortunately with 2048 it's unusable for me as a workhorse :-(.
I suspect the stock VAL does not take into account the need to run ported nix software.
Yes, 2560 is good here. Anything higher leads to a reboot when trying to run AOO and Seamonkey - or Dooble - at the same time.

It depends on the computer but personally I think the stock VAL value is way to low. You should be able to raise it until it hits PCI space. Here, my computer is stable with 2944 and crashy with 3072. 2560 should be good for most.
