Cannot enable tap-to-click in KDE (Solus 4.3)

Hi !

tap-to-click is greyed out in the touchpad settings,
I'm using a fresh install of Solus 4.3 Plasma, how can I work around this?

I had the same problem about two months ago. I wrote this note to myself after fixing it:

After an update, tap-to-click stopped working on trackpad.https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/583371/tap-to-click-is-shown-but-cant-be-toggled – how to modify trackpad settings to get click back

I think the file I edited was 60-libinput.conf, having to add or change a line to set tapping to true. See the linked web page.

I think the hardest part was being able to edit that file. I didn't save notes on that. You have to edit as root, but I didn't seem set up for that and had to add myself to sudoers file?

Avidgamefan you should be able to do this under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and add this file

Welp, I looked at it again today, and for some reason the setting was not greyed out this time 😅
So problem auto solved I guess... Thanks for the help !
