Looks from the forum thread like the value of "TapButton1" should be a
button number, not a boolean. Someone reported success with:
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
I suspect that the ctrl-alt-backspace thing (assuming ctrl, alt, and
backspace are working for you otherwise) is that DontZap is ending up
true, either by default or configuration. I think this has to be in
xorg.conf, in ServerFlags, and is Option "DontZap" "false".
Of course, I haven't gotten my keyboard to work right, and I haven't used
the synaptics driver myself, so I could be entirely wrong.
