Synaptic touchpad issues

Dear memebers of the forum,
I have been using Devuan 2.0 XFCE.
I have the following problem - there is no any option "tap to click" in settings. In order to click, I have to left click with touchpad.
Can anyone help ?
Thank you.

Re: Synaptic touchpad issues

If your laptop supports this go ahead and install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

then create a .xsession text file in your home folder if it is not already there and enter below into it.

@synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 &
startxfce4

then reboot.

Edit sorry this may or may not work, depends if you use the default xsession when logging in via the login manager. So just choose default xsession when logging in.
