*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 Sagar N

I want to connect to display:0 of a headless box remotely. If it's PHYSICALLY headless, what is the reason to use namely :0 anyway?
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
You might want to look at x2x
Basically you run the following:
On the Server: xhost +desktop_hostname On your machine: x2x -to servershostname:0.0 -west
You just need to change exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp to exec /usr/bin/X in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc (I did it both for the host and client machines)
