I've got a program which requires a 1280x768 32 bit display, but the computer on which it runs is ultimately going to be headless.
Why does resolution and depth matter on a headless computer? The program actually identifies and responds to certain changes that take place on the display device, but those changes happen to be immaterial to the user - just the responses matter.
Yes, there's a lot wrong. I'll take any way that will make this work ('working' requires that the entire display gets updated as expected - no strange black boxes), no matter how dirty. Tricks with remote desktop, fake drivers, injecting fake devices using win32, 'breaking' whatever monitor windows thinks is attached and forcing a screen resolution change. Whatever works.
