You can use Xorg in an Xvfb-like fashion, using the xf86-video-dummy and
void input drivers, though I haven't checked if the dummy driver does
composite correctly - just use an xorg.conf file that looks like this
(add Files and Module sections as needed for older Xorg versions):

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "void"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "void"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "dummy"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection
