I had the same problem after upgrading to 9.10 alpha.

The fix was to :/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/

Reboot

Go under System -> Preferences -> Mouse

Go under the "Touchpad" tab
Select (check off) the "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" box
