hey 0day!  Here is a little super simple script I wrote and put in my startup to give me tap features as well as making the touchpad disabled when kbd is being used.  (disables the touchpad for 2 seconds)  I simply name it tap.sh and place it in the /home/yourusername/ folder.  I use Fluxbox, so in the .fluxbox folder in the "startup" file just add "~/tap.sh" without the quotes, somewhere before the end of the file.

#!/bin/sh

synclient TapButton1=1
synclient TapButton2=3
syndaemon -i 2 -d

Never did for me, that's why I wrote the script...

Make sure you change the permissions and set it to executable as well.  Forgot to mention that in the first post.

solved with:

#!/bin/sh
#
# fluxbox startup-script:
#
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.

# Change your keymap:
xmodmap "~/.Xmodmap"

# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.

# Debian-local change:
#   - fbautostart has been added with a quick hack to check to see if it
#     exists. If it does, we'll start it up by default.
which fbautostart > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    fbautostart

# enable tapping:
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1
synclient TapButton1=1

# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.

# exec fluxbox
