When I build 'core-image-x11' on Poky, X on wont start. I am using the
standard Poky clone with no added layers. When I manually start x I get the
following error:

Did you at some point do a build with meta-oe enabled, and then not
enabled? There's a known bad interaction between oe-core and
meta-oe's X init scripts which results in problems like this. The
quick fix is to wipe your tmp and rebuild (using sstate this should
take just a few minutes).

I could not recall.

Did that and still have the problem.
