Using the gnome shell I can "push" the touchpad in order to perform a click
with the mouse.
This doesn't work when I'm using awesome or i3.
I read the synaptics manual and as far as I understood I'm supposed to write
the options into the xorg.conf.
I'm not quite sure but I think the xorg.conf is no longer used or gets
created automatically or something like that. Whenever I tried to change
something in this file on newer systems the result was very bad so I'd rather
not do it.
But how can I fix this problem without xorg.conf?
