I will do it and let you know the status. Should I also test the machines with Fedora 23, or just go with Ubuntu OS? The XPS machines are shipped with Ubuntu.

My this patch 25a84db15b3f3a24d3ea7d2baf90693bcff34b0c (HID: multitouch: enable 
palm rejection if device implements confidence usage) brings side effect as
someone reported it on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112791
My fix is attached in the thread and please have a look at it and my reply in
comment #5 as the root cause.
Let me try to explain my fix here - the quirk MT_QUIRK_VALID_IS_CONFIDENCE 
is implemented in hid-multitouch and I see it was only applied to some
particular touchpad devices (see my list in the end) before my earlier patch
applies it to Windows 8 precision touchpad. I believe the quirk is working 
very well for the devices in list, and it must have some stories behind that
made the quirk designed in this way - simply dropped the reports with
[confidence = 0]. 
However, this quirk isn't working very properly for the Win8 precise touchpad.
I think when a touch is initially detected as finger then
later detected as a palm, the driver has to send the latter detections
to input/mt as calling input_mt_report_slot_state(input, MT_TOOL_FINGER, 
active=0). In order not to break the devices in list, I add a new quirk
MT_QUIRK_CONFIDENCE to do the work. Please provide your comments :)

Device list: 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_3M,	USB_DEVICE_ID_3M1968)			
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_3M,	USB_DEVICE_ID_3M2256) 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_3M,	USB_DEVICE_ID_3M3266) 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_ASUS, USB_DEVICE_ID_ASUS_T91MT)
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_ASUS, USB_DEVICE_ID_ASUSTEK_MULTITOUCH_YFO) 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_TURBOX, USB_DEVICE_ID_TURBOX_TOUCHSCREEN_MOSART) 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_QUANTA,	USB_DEVICE_ID_QUANTA_OPTICAL_TOUCH_3001) 
MT_USB_DEVICE(USB_VENDOR_ID_STANTUM_STM, USB_DEVICE_ID_MTP_STM)

Allen Hung
