Hi Ashton,
maybe something is overwritten. Take a look at 
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf 
and search for the entry ->>   Option "TapButton1"  "1" and 
Option "TapButton2" "2".

If  they miss, just add them and restart X, This file might be overwritten at 
next update. I still found no way, to preserve my own settings, so I just made 
a backup and copy it over after an update.

Maybe someone else knows, how to preserve the settings in this file during an 
update.

Good luck!

Hans
