I found that my Synaptics touchpad was not fully functional under Fedora 9. The touchpad worked properly as a pointer but I was unable to use ‘tap to click’.
A few edits to ./etc/X11/xorg.conf go things working.
Added the following to the ServerLayout Section:
InputDevice "TouchPad" "CorePointer"
add a new section:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
EndSection
I found the solution here:

along with links to RPM files which also correct the problem of the touchpad not responding to taps when the computer resumes or wakes from sleep mode.
