yeah, good tip thanks, just did now 

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-touchpad.conf 
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier  "tap-by-default and other custom settings"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "1"
    Option "TapButton3" "1"
    Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
    Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
    Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
    Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
EndSection
