During the initial configuration of X in Debian, the config script uses some hardware detection packages to heop with the hardware info. You could probably uninstall these packages before configuring X. Personally, I find a moniter a requirement when using Gnome accessibility. I get situations where I need sighted info to help me try to figure out what's happening after a crash. The log files aren't always enough. Hope this helps.
