A newer kernel won't help, but a newer Xorg synaptics driver might. The
jitter is due to the data the touchpad is reporting, but newer versions
of the Xorg synaptics driver include filtering that helps.

I'm not aware of any way to do this in Linux. If this were to be
supported I think it would a feature of the Xorg input drivers and not
the touchpad driver itself.
