Sorry, why wacom? Shouldn't it be xf86-input-synaptics?

I have tested a vanilla xf86-input-synaptics 1.3.0 driver and it doesn't
prevent the jumpy issue because this ClickPad used in Lenovo IdeaPad
S10-3t doesn't support detecting of 2-finger nor finger width. So I
suspect the touchpad just sends out X/Y of either 1st or 2nd finger
randomly, thus caused the jumpy cursor.

I'll try to catch the event by using evtest later. But the symptom is
just like you put two fingers onto any touchpad that can't support
2-finger nor finger width.
