I would doubt that many "real" installations have monitors attached.

And whether it works or not has nothing to do with the OS or any
applications running on the machine.  It is strictly a hardware support
issue.  Most equipment should have no problems without a mouse or
keyboard if properly configured.  Most hardware can't even detect if a
monitor is attached or not.
