Sorry, we haven’t verified kind of this dummy display port adapter.

For your use case, you might could refer to the following steps to enable virtual display for VNC.

Step 0: Enable Screen sharing through connecting monitor first
Settings → Sharing → Screen Sharing → set ‘Active’

Step 1: update and install xserver-xorg-video-dummy

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-dummy

Step 2: Create config for dummy virtual display

$ cd /etc/X11
$ sudo vim xorg.conf.dummy

Step3: Add the following contents in xorg.conf.dummy (resolution 1920*1080 as example)

Section "Device"
    Identifier "DummyDevice"
    Driver "dummy"
    VideoRam 256000
EndSection
 
Section "Screen"
    Identifier "DummyScreen"
    Device "DummyDevice"
    Monitor "DummyMonitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1920x1080_60.0"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
 
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "DummyMonitor"
    HorizSync 30-70
    VertRefresh 50-75
    ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.50 1920 2448 2492 2640 1080 1084 1089 1125 +Hsync +Vsync
EndSection

Step 4: Update /etc/X11/xorg.conf

$ cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
$ cp xorg.conf.dummy xorg.conf

Step 5: Reboot the board

$ sudo reboot
