<pre>tbh, I don't want this exposed as configuration option. udev hwdb entries are a
possibility if we struggle with the initial value but I'd rather avoid it.
config options are something that is hard to remove once they're there and they
promise behaviour too. Often we find a better solution down the road once
hardware improves but then cannot easily remove it because users rely on the
previous configuration.
I pushed a branch for pressure-based palm detection yesterday, see <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEEDINFO "
title="NEEDINFO - Palm detection: ignore moves over a pressure threshold"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=94236">Bug 94236</a>. I
suggest given that a try first because it may help with a bunch of issues like
the 25% change you need atm.

true, it's intended. we have a lot of users that use the touchpad for movement
but the trackpoint buttons for clicking - disabling the touchpad is not useful
in that case.
I guess one of the possibilities could also be to increase the trackpoint
timeout on demand when true trackpoint usage is detected. e.g. more than X
events from the trackpoint -> timeout is now 1s instead of the few ms we have
now. I'm not sure that would help in your case though, I think a 5% edge may
still be the best option.</pre>
