Description of problem: Running regular GNOME3 on Fedora 23 (64 bit), the pointer movement on screen shows increased jitter when fingertip on touchpad operates at low speed or stands still. If I just press my fingertip on the touchpad (no movement at all), the pointer on screen does not stand still but randomly jumps around some pixels in all directions. In average, the pointer keeps its position but it clearly shows jitter (or noise, whatever this is called technically). This makes it hard to hit small objects on screen. Scrollbars are difficult to handle. Any exact positioning is impossible. On the web, there are reports about this problem for years (long before libinput), and sometimes touchpad drivers offer configuration to smooth that noisy input data (eg, synclient HorizHysteresis/VertHysteresis). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libinput-1.2.4-1.fc23.x86_64 (all official updates as of 2016-05-13) How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press fingertip on touchpad (and hold still). 2. Watch pointer on screen. 3. Pointers constantly jumps around some pixels on all directions. Actual results: Pointer on screen is jumpy/noisy, shows jitter (for no operations as well as slow operations on touchpad). Expected results: If the fingertip on touchpad doesn't move, the pointer on screen shouldn't move as well. Also slow movements shouldn't be jumpy. Additional info: See attachment for additional details (maybe helpful).

give this one a try please: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14162802 you'll need to restart or at least run sudo udevadm trigger to make sure the LIBINPUT_MODEL_WOBBLY_TOUCHPAD appears in the udevadm info output.
That libinput package works wonders! The pointer on screen is rock-solid when I stand still with my finger on the touchpad. And if I (intentionally) start to move my finger slightly in a direction the pointer follows properly (without any added jitter). Looks perfect to me. Thanks a lot! FYI: LIBINPUT_MODEL_WOBBLY_TOUCHPAD appears for exactly one /dev/input device (udevadm info) which refers to the touchpad (so I guess it works as intended): P: /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6/event6 N: input/event6 S: input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse E: DEVLINKS=/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event6 E: DEVPATH=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6/event6 E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD=1 E: ID_PATH=platform-i8042-serio-1 E: ID_PATH_TAG=platform-i8042-serio-1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=11/2/8/300:isa0060/serio1 E: LIBINPUT_MODEL_ALPS_TOUCHPAD=1 E: LIBINPUT_MODEL_FIRMWARE_VERSION=300 E: LIBINPUT_MODEL_WOBBLY_TOUCHPAD=1 E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=70 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: USEC_INITIALIZED=14950753
