Can you be sure it stayed off?

Yes, why not?

How? And how are you going to turn it back on once you return next day?

There may be other options, but I was thinking about: xrandr --output XXX --off
> And how are you going to turn it back on once you return next day?
Same: xrandr --output XXX --auto
I can do that remotely before leaving my ssh session.

So start x11vnc and try to do it. Doesn't work.

Tried. It does. What does not work for you?

I just did. :)

TigerVNC supports xrandr. Others don't.
Different VNC implementations support different features and there can be a vast difference in performance.

It does not matter. Shell supports xrandr. If I initially used ssh to get VNC, I can run xrandr over the same ssh session. Or I can open xterm after I connected to VNC and run xrandr there.
