Documentation about how to enable tap says:
	- Use synclient: OK, it works, but is not permanently;
	- Use gpointing-device-settings: OK, it works, but is not permanently;
	- Create/Edit a FDI file: It don't work.

Why you really think that I'm creating buzz and trolling?
Hey man, tap/scrolling really is *don't working*. This is not a fantasy.
