tap-to-click w/ synaptics

Anyone have any experience making tap-to-click work with synaptics? I've messed around with it for a while, and can't seem to figure it out, and I kinda miss it. I'm running a gateway m-6843, using the standard synaptics driver on a fairly new arch install.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Here's the relevant portion of xorg.conf.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "CorePointer"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
        Option      "FingerLow" "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option      "MaxDoubleTapTime" "180"
        Option      "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
        Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
        Option      "PalmDetect" "1"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"

EndSection

Re: tap-to-click w/ synaptics

Maybe fill in the "TapButton1" and so on options?

Re: tap-to-click w/ synaptics

You probably already know this, but I'll mention it anyway: xorg.conf entries for input devices are used only if xorg input hotplugging is disabled.
