It could be.  You could try just running something like
`xinput --set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'libinput Tapping Enabled=
'`
and see if it helps.
You can use the ID of the device instead of the name, but the ID might=20
change if you for instance boot the machine with an additional keyboard=20
or something.  If it works, you can put it in your .xinitrc eor=20
.xsession, and it should take effect every time you start X.
