Same happened to me and it just appeared eventually. Try updating and restarting.

[RodneyCK]

So in Settings > Input Devices > Touchpad, the 'Scrolling: Two Fingers' option is grayed out?

Have you tried different kernels?

[Solved] Touchpad Tap-to-Click grayed out

So, I've always used the synaptic drivers on my Lenovo ( 3 so far) Make a backup first just in case this doesn't work, but I'd pacman -Syu xf86-input-synaptics Reboot and you should have options for tap-to-click This is the package details: Arch Linux - xf86-input-synaptics 1.9.1-2 (x86_64) And read up more about it here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Edit: Welcome to Linux! We're all learning here. Even after years, I'm still learning.

Hope this helps, also wanna add that the gestures are not working too. Apologies for the earlier mistake.

[fbodymechanic]

Gestures are not well supported in my experience on x11. I did set them up on my kde setup with touche/touchegg for switching virtual desktops though. You might want to check that out.
