Added new property RandR CscMatrix defining 3×4 matrix for converting the color space. The matrix is ​​applied after the color card X and before color correction table. This property is available for graphics cards from the GF119.
Improved interactivity applications that use hardware cursor, with the active G-SYNC.
Solved arises when using pixel buffers with EGL-device problem causing incorrect rendering.
Fixed a bug that caused the polarity inversion flags HSync and VSync.
Added support for video cards GeForce 920MX and 930MX.
