Hi Javier, I was facing the same problem like Magnus. Switching from synaptics to libinput with the config form the wiki link you posted worked just fine! Tapping works again for me now. Thank you very much! Cheers, Daniel (@FillFeile) On 16.06.2016 22:59, Javier Vasquez via arch-general wrote:

I think Xorg now uses libinput as default as opposed to prior versions. I have been using libinput any ways since it was made available, so the transition didn't affect me, and besides I'm OK with the tapping offered by libinput. Actually I removed totally the xf86-input-synaptics package from my Arch boxes already. You can take a look at the install message:

And if you want to read how to enable tapping on libinput:

Hopefully this helps,
