Adding x11 to IMAGE_FEATURES doesn't achieve anything, as x11 isn't an IMAGE_FEATURE.  It's a DISTRO_FEATURE.

DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-wayland'

https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FFreescale%2Fmeta-freescale-distro%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fconf%2Fdistro%2Ffsl-wayland.conf&data=01%7C01%7Caaron.solochek%40sri.com%7C660e9bc6cada46f92d8608d75ef5d038%7C40779d3379c44626b8bf140c4d5e9075%7C1&sdata=i7DpsY90tCm4VJheO3d0T%2BZqFh8g7ZwBXpx7XS3xoDE%3D&reserved=0
says that this explicitly does DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11" so you can't add it back.

I suggest you use a DISTRO that supports X11.

Oh, duh. I need fsl-imx-xwayland. 

Thank you!
