So apparently once the laptop gets a little warmer around the touch pad, some touches will not be registered anymore, so if i press a little firmer or with the whole area of the fingertip, the mouse will work again.
However, since this requires a lot of effort to get right, I might have to try something to increase the sensitivity of the touch pad.
Anyway, I hope that this solution helps some of you. I'll mark this as solved!
]]>Edit: Also, libinput 1.16 should be coming soon, and I suspect they'll have added some specific info for this trackpad to a *.quirk file. It will also come with a new touchpad calibration tool, which should help if they don't have a new quirk for this machine.

I haven't had time to go through it yet.
I waited for the kernel to update from 5.7 to 5.8 before dumping too much time into it. With the upgrade today, I'm still seeing the same error in `dmesg`.
I am also hoping that some fix to this error will have a side-effect of fixing the terrible palm rejection. I'm just unsure if psmouse has anything to do with libinput.

Looking at the output of dmesg -w, I'm getting the following errors, but not quite sure whether they're related to the trackpad input.
[166413.266917] psmouse serio1: elantech: elantech_send_cmd query 0x02 failed.
[166413.266920] psmouse serio1: elantech: failed to query capabilities.
dmesg -w
might help.
What sort of mouse, USB, wireless...?
]]>I installed Arch with xmonad on my XPS15 9500, and from the beginning on, I noticed that sometimes the mouse input starts to stutter for a while, meaning I can't move the cursor and gestures like scrolling are not detected anymore.
Looking at the output of linbinput debug-events, I could see that there is no registered input for these short intervals.
I think these stutters appear more often on "graphic heavy" applications like firefox or a JetBrain IDE, I haven't tried games though.
Do you have an idea what this problem could be, or what I could look at to narrow down the source?
Thanks in advance!
