Bug Description

Describe the bug
I have a raspberry pi 3b+ with raspbian 9 fresh upgraded and connected via ssh tunnel to localhost. There runs a x11vnc-server on port 5900 via systemctl service.
I know to find tons of articles on the web but none of them work for me and not every article has a result :(

To Reproduce
Some days ago I upgraded a raspberry py from raspbian 8 to 9 with no problem.
I can connect after reboot to localhost and redirected port and get normal screen. After disconnecting I can reconnect several times. After maybe one hour of no connection I can connect again but end only in black screen with cursor. A friend from outside via openvpn tries the same but with local ip and can connect but also gets a black screen on first try.

In notes:
-- connection via ssh to localhost

connect after reboot -> normal screen (then working, disconnect)
connect after some time -> black screen with cursor.
-- connection in same network (openvpn)

connect after reboot -> black screen with cursor.
connect after some time -> black screen with cursor.
Expected Behavior
A connection from inside network to normal screen, not black screen.

OS and version: Raspbian stretch, v9
Xorg version used:
Wayland version used:
x11vnc-server v0.9.13 lastmod: 2011-08-10
