Tap to click not working



Hi,

I am currently running debian testing on Acer laptop. Everything was
working as expected. Since a couple of days, the tap to click on the
touchpad has stopped working. Of course, I can set it Gnome preferences.
But, when I switch to openbox, I have lost that functionality.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the following lines :

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
EndSection


This was working well. Tap to click worked in gdm3, openbox, whatever.
Can anybody provide some pointers to get back the old behaviour?

Regards,
