Bug Description
In 16.04 LTS, the touchpad behaved perfectly, and as soon as I stepped up to 16.10 beta the touchpad became unusable.
When holding a single finger on the touchpad, without moving my finger, the cursor jumps around like crazy, and even performs clicks. When placing a second finger on the touchpad, without moving either, it gets even worse.
See desktop recording clip as reference of the behavior (attached as out.ogv).
The laptop is an Asus ZenBook UX31E.
