Perhaps you disabled it by mistake?
Menu > Settings > Devices > Touchpad On/off

Try to add the following:
Code:
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "3"
to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf file. Restart X or reboot.

.
