I just bought this laptop and have this same problem. Right now I have an external mouse plugged in because using the trackpad causes the arrow to fly around the screen wildly, left- and right-clicking all the way. My first thought was that it was just waaayyyy too sensitive but then I find this bug. Here's my dmesg.
