I have following xorg.conf section:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Option "Tapping" "on"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection


maybe there is a better solution, but this works in my case (13.0-CURRENT #2
r362468)
