That was the question I was going to ask

I don't understand what the above means, but I've been building both directfb and x11 for some years now and they don't clash.

> x11 and directfb should be mutual in DISTRO_FEATURES. User may use file "meta-yocto/conf/local.conf.sample.extended" to select the mode they want to need.

So directfb and x11 can exist in the same image but not be defined in DISTRO_FEATURES at same time.

Last time I looked both gtk+ and pango had their backend modularized, so you can build both and install the right one in the rootfs. I think that would be a better way to go. Just look at debian with their gtk-directfb installer, they have gtk-X as well :)
