Well, that was yesterday. Today it doesn't work anymore.
When I try to run gpointing-device-settings I get error mesage:
An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter).
So, I must to search other solution, as You advice me.
Here, on Arch Linux I can find
extra/xf86-input-synaptics 1.7.2-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) [installed]
So, I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file, with the
content:
# Additional options may be added in the form of
# Option "OptionName" "value"
#
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:

EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad ignore duplicates"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/mouse*"

EndSection

Option "AreaBottomEdge" "82%"
EndSection
# This option disables software buttons on Apple touchpads.

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Disable clickpad buttons on Apple touchpads"
MatchProduct "Apple|bcm5974"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection
I suppose I must to add some option here, right?
