Hi

You talk about the Nouveau driver for Nvidia GPUs and you talk about Intel HD Graphics, does your laptop have them both? According to your screen capture, Microsoft Windows only sees the former, not the latter. Does your laptop use Optimus?

There is a bug report about your problem as far as I remember. Intel provides a kind of "fake" driver that wrongly claims to work correctly only to allow numerous users to switch to Windows 10 without providing real OpenGL support. In this case, JOGL uses the GDI renderer as a fallback. If you're really in this situation, there is nothing that can be done at JOGL level to work around this issue.
