meta-oe provides unclutter-xfixes which can replace unclutter functionality. Not sure what all is needed from x11-xserver-utils but OE provided multiple recipes to provide content of x11-xserver-utils which is rgb,xhost,xmodmap,xrandr,xrdb and xset. For xautomation there is a replacement called xdotool

so try your luck, your mileage may vary :)

-- @kraj thank you so much for reply so soon

now I only has an issue: xte "key F11" -x:0 xte
-sh: xte: command not found do you have idea for install xte ?

sorry to post here. because for our heavy application chromium is very slow to show image. so we have to change a light browser to try Thank you so much again.

xte comes form xautomation so you might want to explore xdotools replacing xte, it must have equivalent commands for replacing xte xte "key F11" -x:0

perhaps can become

"xdotool key F11" release - x:0

@kraj sorry to bother you again

I use xdotool to similate F11 , it works, but there is 5 seconds time gap to become fullscreen I see here: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/30093/epiphany-browser-in-full-screen-mode it use matchbox-window-manager

but yocto no matchbox-window-manager only find matchbox ? is it? thank you.
