In this file, there is a section to create dummy display in xorg.

Setting the Desktop Resolution

The desktop resolution is typically determined by the capabilities of the
display that is attached to Jetson. If no display is attached, a default
resolution of 640x480 is selected. To use a different resolution, edit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and append the following lines:

Section "Screen"
   Identifier    "Default Screen"
   Monitor       "Configured Monitor"
   Device        "Tegra0"
   SubSection "Display"
       Depth    24
       Virtual 1280 800 # Modify the resolution by editing these values
   EndSubSection
EndSection

Please note that you don’t need anything like Xlaunch for this case. Just add this with default jetpack setup and it should create a dummy screen for you. You shall see it through xrandr command.
