  So, somehow listed above X11 packages were not build yet (or staged
properly). It's strange, because .bb file lists them as dependences.
Anyway, quick fix would be to try to build them manually (note you'll
need to use OE package names, not shortings in error above).

  Another suggestion if you don't feel like digging what can be wrong
there, is to try some named distro instead of "generic" one, e.g.,
"angstrom-2007.1". Note that it comes with xserver-kdrive, not
full-fledged X.org. Just yesterday I fixed similar error building it
in the described configuration - it was due to "xcalibrateext" being
renamed to "xcalibrateproto". I wonder, if the issue you report is
something similar. Eother way, gpe-image for angstrom-2007.1 was just
rebuilt successfully.
