i still haven't figured out how/where to enable 'touchpad tapping' or that scroll/pan that happens when you click the mouse wheel.
my laptop's touchpad's scroll zone is working though, without doing anything.
AFAIK, the linux driver for synaptics mouse pads will not do "tapping" at all. Perhaps someone who's clever with using Windows drivers in Linux can help us get it going.

p.s. Thanks for the tip on compiz setup!
