AFAIK, synaptics can do tap-to-click too. Perhaps it needs some
configuration, though. This is from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

  Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "the-touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "MinSpeed" "0.5"
    Option "MaxSpeed" "2.5"
    Option "CornerCoasting" "on"
    Option "CoastingSpeed" "10"
    Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
    Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "2"
    Option "TapButton3" "3"
    Option "TapAndDragGesture" "on"
  EndSection

(it's the configurability why I stay with synaptics: "thou shalt stay
away from the knobs" isn't a philosophy which suits me :)
