I did the same as Fabien but a litle tuned because I use a chrombook:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad peppy cyapa"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
MatchProduct "cyapa"
Option "FingerLow" "10"
Option "FingerHigh" "10"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
Its very nice that you can have the full control of your pad conf!
cheers
