Enable touchpad right click

I tried to enable touchpad right click by configuring a xorg.conf file, since I read in the wiki that you can't configure that option using Gnome's System->Preferences->Mouse.

I created a xorg.conf file from the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and added the section for the synaptics, but it is not working.
It seems that the 'TapButtonx' options are not taking any effect.
I didn't find anything in the logs either.
Here is my xorg.conf:

    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
        Driver    "ati"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default ati Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
        Driver    "vesa"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default vesa Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
        Driver    "fbdev"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
        Device    "Builtin Default fbdev Device 0"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier    "Builtin Default Layout"
        Screen    "Builtin Default ati Screen 0"
        Screen    "Builtin Default vesa Screen 0"
        Screen    "Builtin Default fbdev Screen 0"
        InputDevice    "SynapticsTouchpad"  "SendCoreEvents"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "SynapticsTouchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
   Option      "VertEdgeScroll"    "true"  # enable vertical scroll zone
   Option      "HorizEdgeScroll"   "true"  # enable horizontal scroll zone
   Option      "TapButton1" "1"
   Option      "TapButton2" "2"
   Option      "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
Section "Module"
   Load "synaptics"
EndSection
