You can change touchpad settings manually from the terminal.

I personally have a FLTK based application that I use to fine-tune
synaptic touchpad settings.


open a terminal and type


synclient


This will list all your current settings if your touchpad is supported
by the synaptic drivers.


Then simply run synclient again when you find the setting you want with
the name and value


probably you want something like:


synclient TapButton1=1


But, you can try each setting that you want to explore and it will
instantly change your settings.  You probably need to save these to a
script to automatically be run each time you start your session.
