Thanks Marek, I'll test that!

In the meantime, firstly I fixed an important bug in Mesamatrix so now the
matrix is more accurate, and I also just found the problem with Dota 2: it
is not because of the new drivers but because of a change I did in the
video options, I don't remember having done that but it was apparently in
borderless window mode which GNOME doesn't handle very well apparently.

Now that this is solved, I'll try to understand what's happening with
Alien: Isolation.

Thanks!
