Good you got scrolling to work. In case it helps, this is what works
for me to enable tap functions, rather than mess with xorg configs:

synclient TapButton1=1 LBCornerButton=2 RBCornerButton=3
MaxTapTime=140 SingleTapTimeout=140 MaxDoubleTapTime=140

Try first in a user terminal, if it works script it and put in user's
"autostart".

Adding the option line 'Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"' to the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf and unloading/reloading psmouse.ko did the trick. I am not sure wether the kernel upgrade made any difference and I am not very inclined to downgrade atm. :)
