[vfio-users] Freesync support

[Øyvind Aasen]

It didn't seem like that to me. I had to do a reinstall off the VM a couple
days ago. Because I had some issues with my computer, downloaded the newest 
relive driver 17.2.1 from the webpage and installed it. I could not find
the display tab anywhere in the program, I did not try the 32-bit version
of the app because I didn't find anything about the bug you mentioned. 

After setting the hidden state to on and reinstalling the driver from the
same download did it show in the Settings app. My guess is that either the
Relive installer or Crimson installer changed something in the display
driver installation braking it if you run in a VM. 

Another issue I had was that my display showed up as Generic PnP monitor
instead off the model name/number checking the device information in
windows. Reinstalling the drivers fixed this issue.
