[Solved]Synaptics touchpad tap-to-click is not working in Xorg.

Works only on gnome from wayland. Under plasma and gnome with xorg does not work.
I have installed

xf86-input-libinput
xf86-input-synaptics

You can set that both in plasma and in gnome's settings.

You should also decide for either of the two and not have both of them installed, if you generally like waylands behaviour you will want to opt for xf86-input-libinput and remove xf86-input-synaptics

I installed plasma and removed gnome

pacman -Syu plasma-desktop dolphin ark plasma-pa plasma-nm konsole kinfocenter plasma5-applets-thermal-monitor kwrite
pacman -Runs gnome gnome-extra
pacman -S sddm sddm-kcm
systemctl enable sddm.service -f

Removing gnome did not help.

I'm not talking about gnome but the xf86-input modules. And again, go into the mouse/touchpad settings of plasma/gnome and enable tab-to-click.
