org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: No modes available

I'm using LWJGL backend in libgdx and I'm getting the following exception on my laptop (openSUSE with Bumblebee):

[error] Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I've tried running using "optirun" and "primusrun" and it still fails.  I can run this on my desktop machine without any problems.  I have tested with glxgears and glxinfo and everything reports properly to use the intel or nvidia GPU based on how I execute it.  Is this something you guys have seen and can you offer an fixes?

I had forgotten that I'm using GNOME Wayland on that laptop. Switching back to GNOME works fine. So it would appear that LWJGL just has problems with Wayland.

LWJGL 2 does not support Wayland. LWJGL 3 uses GLFW, which does support Wayland, but not in the default distribution. You could try the latest libgdx release which has an LWJGL 3 backend, but you'll have to replace the GLFW binary with a build that has Wayland support enabled.
