I've already installed xf86-input-synaptics and all other functions of the touchpad work except for the clicking(i.e it doesn't click when tapped). A forum search led me to this thread- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116292, which I think is the same problem I'm experiencing but I didn't really find a solution on that thread. Could you guys help me out on this? Thanks

I think that the solution is here, if you haven't done this before :

You need to configure the synaptic driver to use "advanced" features like scrolling or tap-to-click

I just tried adding
Option "FingerPress" "2"
to the config file but nothing happened. That's the right Option right?

Are you using anything like gsynaptics or gpointingdevicesettings? I don't use them myself, but perhaps installing one of them can help you. Or uninstalling, of course.
Anyway, my config file has Option "FingerPress" "255", not "2". In case it helps, I put up my config file here:

Single-tap clicking does work for me, so you could maybe compare
Oh, and look at the synaptics manual:
$ man synaptics

@STEELBAS- I tried putting in "255" but it takes no effect.

It is the option below for the left-click (think as 1-left 2-middle 3-right)
Option "TapButton1" "1"
And tapbutton1,2,3 means 1 finger, 2fingers .. at a time tapping on touchpad

@twix- Option "TapButton1" "1" is already on my config file.

do you use gnome?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

@wonder- yes

@wonder- yes
gnome overwrites x settings. go to system settings->mouse and touchpad and then touchpad tab
