What values and where did you find them?

Everything you need should be here:
http://xpra.org/trac/browser/xpra/trunk/debian/xserver-xorg-video-dummy

As the Ubuntu 18.10 release nears, we will start pushing packages to the
beta repository, this will include the patched dummy driver.
Until then, you will need to compile the driver yourself or use another
workaround.
