To convince the video card that a monitor is present, you need a VGA dummy.
From [1]:
8.10) Building a 5 BNC cable
This is straightforward, if time consuming and tedious.
The five coaxial cables (75 ohm, RG59 typical) are wired as shown in the
table. The corresponding VGA connector pin numbers are in ().

Red Video (1) Red Return (6)
Green Video (2) Green Return (7)
Blue Video (3) Blue Return (8)
H Sync (13) Ground (5,10)
V Sync (14) Ground (5,10)
Tie pin 11 (ID0) to Ground to indicate a color monitor.
Leave pin 12 (ID1) open.
Make sure that the lengths of the cables are fairly well matched - to within
a couple of inches - to assure that the 3 color channels line up precisely.
(One foot of cable is about 1.5 to 2 ns of delay which is significant for
a 10 ns dot clock!).
Also note that you will lose your 'Plug-and-Play' capabilities without the
direct control connections to the monitor (or for monitors without these
features).
That's it!
You will wish that your fingers were about 10 times smaller than they are,
however. :-)
