If like me you have struggled with your big hands's palms getting the cursor to jump around for no reason, what worked for me me was programmatically reducing the area of the touchpad like this :

Another thing you may not be aware is some touchpads have a scroll function that works with only one finger on the right edge of the touchpad and it is not always marked clearly so on the touchpad. I know that made the problem even worse. I don't quite remember the setting to deactivate though.

Only works for Synaptic and overall not a great thing to do (see link for details).
