The touchpad's click isn't working(doesn't click when tapped) on my Arch installation with Gnome; I've already installed xf86-input-synaptics. Does anyone know how to fix this?

System>>Mouse and enable "Click through touchpad"

After recent upgrades to X, you may need to move some of the relevant sections in your xorg.conf into xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf.

There is a thread on the Arch boards that details the issue.
