I also started seeing this problem after I upgraded to 15.10.  I'll be
typing and then the cursor will zip to one edge of the screen or the
other.  I'm on a Dell XPS 13 (2013 model).  Currently seeing the issue
with kernel 4.2.0-27

My current experiment is to kill syndaemon to see if palm detection is
the issue, and then being really really sure that I'm not touching the
touchpad while I type.
