The name of the distro most likely means that this distro is doing
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11"

which would result in the 'error' you are seeing. You should use a
distro which is compatible with X11 instead.

it fails because x11 is disable in DISTRO_FEATURES, not IMAGE_FEATURES.

_remove can't be un-done.
