No X11 output with vlc, what changed?

[Bob Willcox]

I recently updated my system in the past two days, both the OS and all ports to the latest
level:

FreeBSD tavion.austin.ibm.com 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #6 r336172: Tue Jul 10 13:24:20 CDT 2018     bob at tavion.austin.ibm.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/TAVION  amd64

and now when I run vlc it no longer displays its output via X11, just does
command line output/input.

I have been running vlc with the following command:

vlc-wrapper /Media

for a long time (years) and it displayed in an X11 window with the cover art and various
control buttons. Now all I get is this:

bob at tavion:33 /home/bob> vlc-wrapper /Media  
VLC media player 2.2.8 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.7-14-g3cc1d8cba9)

The tracks play but I don't get the X11 window output. What am I missing here?
Been scratching my head and google searching but keep coming up empty handed.

So, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
