Description: On this new version of archlinux, the TapButton
(Xorg config strings wich regulates the double tap and the
triple finger tap function) are inverted. In other distros
where the touchpad is working correctly, synclient reports:
TapButton2 = "3", TapButton3= "2"
On this version of archlinux, in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf TapButton2 = "2" and TapButton3="3" so that the touchpad is inverted unless those strings are modified. Steps to reproduce: install xf86-input-synaptics The touchpad is inverted |

TapButton1 = 0
TapButton2 = 0
TapButton3 = 0
And now every touchpad tap does not work.
On dell 1555 with kde(git), tapping broken after upgrade, but fixed with systemsettings. No rollback needed.
Please test xf86-input-synaptics-1.8.3-4 in [testing]
Tapping once clicks button 1 (left click), tapping twice clicks button 2 (middle), tapping tripple clicks button 3 (right). This has been the default in our packaged version of xf86-input-synaptics for ages. Upstream disables tapping completely if physical buttons are present.
When switching mouse from right to left handed the configured tapbuttons are inverted completely so the configuration becomes invalid then.
My guess is that "this new version of archlinux" is all about GNOME that only configures input devices when the libinput driver is used, so GNOME doesn't change the settings anymore and what is configured becomes default now.
I've removed our custom tapping configuration and upgrade to version 1.8.99.1 with an install message about the situation.
If you find a missing feature or bug with xf86-input-libinput you should fill a bug report upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg
