Description

The upstream 1.19.4 update we pushed as:
http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0366.html
introduced a regression in PRIME syncronization.

Upstream released a 1.19.5 that fixes that and a lot of security fixes:
CVE-2017-12176 to CVE-2017-12187

Also added a fix for "XShmGetImage: fix censoring" that is described as:
"Visually this fixes chromium/firefox window sharing in multiscreen
configurations - without this patch most of the windows on 'secondary'
screens are black."

This also should fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101730.
