Fix touchpad tapping with Elantech devices and others

I got a new Asus EeePC netbook that has an Elantech touchpad device installed. It works out of the box with my Debian GNU/Linux installation, however the tapping is not working.

To make it work again you probably have to rebind the TapButtonX settings that are set to 0.

synclient TapButton1=1 TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3

Add it to your session start-up file for persistence. Also check out gpointing-device-settings for various touchpad options.
