I had similar issue. It is easy to fix. Look at my section for synaptics 
in xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Synaptics"
         Driver      "synaptics"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
         Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
         Option      "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
         Option      "VertScrollDelta" "60"
         Option      "TapButton2" "1"
EndSection

the last string

Option      "TapButton2" "1"

is the key.
