If it's headless why start xorg at all? Why not just start vncserver
with whataver resolution and colour depth you require?

vncserver :1 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24

You will probably need to maintain ~/.vnc/xstartup and add some bit like:-

#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -solid grey
xfwm4 --display :1.0 &
xfce4-panel --display :1.0 &
xfdesktop --display :1.0 &
