From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

According to The arch wiki, x11vnc operates differently than some other servers and is not capable of going headless. You'd need the dummy plug.
On that same page, though, it lists the alternative to x11vnc as Xvnc, and links to TigerVNC which is capable of going headless, and has an example config for going headless.
I haven't tested tigerVNC specifically, but it's known, so I expect this is the solution to your problem.
I tried to install TigerVNC but I got nowhere with it. Do you know any good guide or tutorial for seeing it up?
I found this. Hope it helps:
