This following works for me; but I am not sure if this works for your
system too... Atuh da, wayahna...

Edit/modify in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
     Driver     "synaptics"
     Option    "SendCoreEvents" "true"
     Option    "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
     Option    "Protocol"             "auto-dev"
     Option    "HorizScrollDelta"  "0"
     Option    "MaxTapTime"       "0"
     Option    "MaxTapMove"       "0"
EndSection
