*It is not totally headless, sorry, it doesnot have a keyboard or
mouse. But it does have a monitor which I use to watch media. So, I
want to connect via vnc/anything and get to control it.
So display:0 connection is crucial. I looked at nomachine, but I dont
think it has :0 connection. As of now, I am trying to speed up x11vnc
by looking at its various options. Since it polls, I am not sure if I
can achieve any decent speed boost.
Thank you

In any case, is there an alternative way to connect to display:0 remotely? Personally I use nomachine [1]. Although this is not the answer to your question (it's not display :0 connection), but works very fast.
# pacman -S nxserver # pacman -S nxclient
The client is available for different platforms.
Cheers, Sergey
