hello everyone!
i'm installing Arch on my note, but Xorg doesnt recognize tapping on the touchpad as clicking, just ignores it.
i've tried every configuration i've found on the internet... none works.
waiting....

Good evening
You have to configure Hal or to turn the hotplugging off an use the xorg.conf
you will find the information here.

I got it working by adding the TapButtonX option to my 11-x11-synaptics.fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy where X is the number of taps. Here is my fdi file.
