Hello,

(In reply to Nyxis from comment #3)

Ok, now I have a better idea how to reproduce the issue.

Removing the NEEDINFO status.

I'm not familiar with x11vnc or tightvnc, but from what I read [1] (old info,
maybe obsolete), you have to setup a framebuffer in xrandr to use x11vnc on
headless systems. Some other vnc clients/servers seem to do that automatically.
