I am using the one that gets generated in the xpra.conf like so:

export DISPLAY=:10
xpra_Xdummy -noreset -nolisten tcp +extension GLX +extension RANDR 
+extension RENDER -auth $XAUTHORITY -logfile 
${HOME}/.xpra/Xorg.${DISPLAY}.log -configdir ${HOME}/.xpra/xorg.conf.d 
-config /etc/xpra/xorg.conf $DISPLAY
