My JOGL crashes if I'm not using an external monitor

This seems insane, but I've been able to reproduce an issue where my JOGL app crashes if I'm not using an external monitor. All I do is start the app, and it immediately becomes unresponsive. If I plug in an external monitor, the problem disappears.

If I let the app run, then randomly pause it in a debugger, I get the following stack trace:

I开发者_StackOverflow社区 haven't tested to see if I can reproduce this issue just using OpenGL.

Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps I'm confused about the monitor issue and it's something else?

Any chance you have setVSyncEnabled(true) somewhere or gl.setSwapInterval(<some nonzero value>)? Search for "Vertical retrace" here if you'd like to know more.

Are you running -Djava.awt.headless=true ?

Are you using an Intel integrated graphics chipset? I've seen some problems with those for multi- or external-monitor support with JOGL. You might try on another computer with a different graphics card to see if the behavior changes -- if it does, your current graphics driver may be at fault.
