Bug#568043: [xserver-xorg-input-synaptics] Tapping disabled in a fresh install (KDE).
I saw that xinput package wasn't installed, this means that tasksel does not install it for Desktop Enviroment during Debian installation.
After installing it and rebooting the system, nothing changes, tapping is still not working.
kcm-touchpad is a KDE control module which uses xinput to configure synaptics based touchpads, it is working well in Kubuntu and OpenSuse.
kcm-touchpad:

Sorry but,by the moment I can't use xinput from command line, I am a bit clumsy.

not quite sure what kcm-touchpad does but have you tried setting
parameters with xinput set-prop? if that works the problem is not in the
synaptics driver.

Can you elaborate? there are no special changes with respect to that in
Debian.
Could you also attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks
