Acer E5-575-33BM Kaby Lake GPU Acceleration

Hi everyone.

I succesfully installed archlinux on my laptop, but there's one more thing I can't achieve.
It seems like the system has no hardware acceleration.
I have installed Gnome + Budgie Desktop. Integrated card model is HD 620 (i3 7100u cpu).
I've installed mesa-git and there is no difference.

I've installed glxgears, and I'm getting 60fps.

Scroll in firefox is annoyingly slow, the animation must be around 10fps.
I've also noticed that nothing in the Desktop Envirnoment UI is smooth.

Following the Intel Graphics section from the Archwiki, i've noticed I do not have "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf" file in my system.

Running:

$ lspci -k

Outputs: (Vga section pasted)

        VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5916 (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 1094
	Kernel driver in use: i915
	Kernel modules: i915

I searched in google for a possible solution but I don't even wherer to look.

Thank you.

You have to create any conf files yourself; Arch doesn't automate any of that.

Ok, so... Drivers might be installed correctly?

I don't know what that means. The driver is loaded. If it isn't performing, create the conf file and see if that makes a difference.

I have created the file and there is no difference.
I also checked nomodeset in kernel parameters.

For bootloading i'm using "rEFIND", it doesn't override nomnodeset parameter.

Huh.

Are you using nomodeset, or not. (you shouldn't be)

Did you install the drivers for X / Wayland and configure appropriately? 60fps is correct if vsync is on (probably is, by default), confirm acceleration elsewhere.
