I got a brand-new iBook G4 and it had a jumping trackpad while
Airport was doing something. Disabling Airport and the problem
stopped. CPU was _not_ maxed out at that moment. It must have been
something else.
At first I thought that the new iBooks had lousy Apple Trackpads
after they changed away from their previous supplier. But that
probably isn't it.
So look at your network setting and disconnect to see if this changes
things.
It's now working for me, by the way, also with Airport enabled. I
don't know what has changed. My best guess that there is/was some
contention in the kernel where the trackpad and the airport driver
were both busy doing stuff plus something else (mds was running at
20% as well). Now that this "something" is done the problems are also
gone.
