Help with AMDGPU and touchpad

Hi, i want to understand some problem i have with my installation of Arch on my laptop.
I've bought about a month ago a Lenovo Ideapad 320 15abr. This laptop has an AMD A12-9720P RADEON R7 as CPU and an AMD Radeon R8 M535DX as GPU. I've installed Arch with Gnome and many animation aren't fluid as it has to be (menu animations are a mess). I've compared these animation with those i have with my other PC with the same setup: Arch with Gnome. On this PC i have an intel i7 2600 and a nVidia gtx 580, with the nVidia driver. In this case all works perfectly.
I've also tried with the kernel parameters

amdgpu.si_support=1 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 radeon.cik_support=0

but nothing changed also with the 4.14 kernel. Why can't i have fluid animation on my laptop?

Another problem is the touchpad: it doesn't work. I thought it was a problem with the kernel, but with the 4.14 it doesn't change anything (also with the psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 parameter). Gnome it doesn't recognize the touchpad, showing only settings for the mouse.

Could you help me? Am i doing something wrong? I use Linux for some years but i'm not an expert with the debugging commands.
Thank you

Re: Help with AMDGPU and touchpad
