[Solved]Touch pad partially working

Model: acer travelmate 5742

What works: cursor navigation, vertical scrolling, buttons.
Doesn't work: single tap, double tap, two-finger scroll, pinch, rotate, flip

Synaptics.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "2"
        Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

I have tried to add "MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" according to arch wiki but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Edit: Fixed this problem. i have used gnome mouse gui tool to configure the touch pad.
