In your case it is probably the cuff of a long sleeved shirt, etc. but I don't mean a "palm impression"... the palm rest is just the top of the laptop case which surronds the keyboard and the touchpad. It is wired in such a way as a fault in the connections or the wires themselves causes the mouse pointer to skyrocket off into oblivion.

I wonder why I can't find anything about a mouse in my BIOS and I have the touchpad disabled but it still responds to touch. Jerry. Another issue with errant touchpads at least for Dell Lattitude models has been the palm rest. If you are sure you can't disable the touch pad and you are sure you are not brushing the pad with your wrists and the cursor keeps jumping you may have a bad palm rest which contains the connections for the mouse pointer and touch pad. Investigate your model to narrow down the exact cause of such behavior.
