I tried gpointing-device-settings, but it's not permanently. After
reboot, it lost the config.


if you're using gnome you can configure the touchapd in
gnome-mouse-properties.


No. I'm using KDE:
<https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189567>


Do you have any documentation about how to enable tap/scrolling
editing xorg.conf?


there is an example in
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/README.Debian.gz
it also says how to configure it via hal.
# cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy 

After restart, Tap/Scrooling still not working.
Only way to enable tap/scrolling is using synclient, but it's not permanently.
